Schaan Description

3km/2mi north of Vaduz, at the foot of the Drei Schwestern massif, is Schaan (450-500 m/1,477-1,641ft; pop. 4,700), a busy little industrial town with the foundations of a Roman fort. Idyllically situated above the town is the pilgrimage church Maria zum Trost ("Dux"; 18th C.). Various Roman remains have been excavated in the surrounding area of Schaan. From here a good minor road runs northeast to the village of Planken.
