Given that the Principality of Liechtenstein, located between Switzerland and Austria, is only 160 sq km (61 sq miles) in area, you might be surprised that it even has a railway. However, it is only 9.5 km (5.9 miles) in length, connects Austria and Switzerland, and is administered by the ÖBB or Austrian Federal Railways as part of the route between Feldkirch, Austria, and Buchs, Switzerland. Liechtenstein is nominally within the Austrian Verkehrsverbund Vorarlberg tariff region.
There are four stations in Liechtenstein, namely Schaan-Vaduz, Forst Hilti, Nendeln, and Schaanwald, served by a stopping train service that runs between Feldkirch and Buchs provided by the ÖBB.
EuroCity and other long distance international trains also travel along the route, but do not normally stop at the Liechtenstein stations.
The denomination of the stamps is in Swiss francs which Liechtenstein uses.
