Buchs

Alpine nature is in abundance in this corner of north eastern Switzerland (Ostschweiz), guarded by the Margelchopf mountains, a sincere rival to the Matterhorn. Buchs can be found in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland, on the border with Liechtenstein surrounded by the bountiful regions of Werdenberg, Toggenburg and Heidiland. Werdenberg in particular is a gem of a town, retaining a unique wooden character being the only wooden medieval settlement in Switzerland. Werdenberg Castle sits atop a hill, gazing out over the Rhine Valley to the Alps. Liechtenstein is near enough for a visit, in six kilometres you can experience one of the smallest nations in the world.
