Heidi's world is not only a children's fairy-tale, it really exists! After a tour of Zurich we follow the lake to Rapperswil and visit the picturesque Old Town and its medieval castle - time at leisure. Then after crossing the Ricken Pass with its panoramic views of the Alps we reach the lovely Toggenberg region with the most picturesque scenery of green hills and valleys. In Vaduz, the capital of the tiny Principality of Liechtenstein you will have time at leisure. See the settings of Heidi's story in the Maifenfeld area. In the summer months we can visit Heidi's village. A pleasant short walk leads to a collection of typical mountain houses, a village shop, and of course lots of little goats. Entry into the authentic Heidi House is optional. During winter months we shall have instead a visit (photo stop) to the pretty old village of Werdenberg. Our trip back to Zurich along Lake Walen which is guarded by the impressive Churfisten mountain-range.
