Schellenberg is a historic municipality in the north of Liechtenstein and one of the smallest administrative regions in the country, situated on the gentle slopes of the Rhine Valley, close to the Swiss border. Although small, the town carries the story of Liechtenstein's origins - the ruins of the "Upper Liechtenstein" castle, which is a testament to the Liechtenstein family's acquisition of territories in the 13th century, and the remains of its medieval stone walls still attract history buffs to explore the town. The town of Schellenberg is characterized by its tranquil atmosphere. Schellenberg is known for its idyllic, rural atmosphere, where visitors can stroll along winding paths with views of the Alps and the Rhine, or explore the traditional wooden houses and family-owned breweries for a taste of Liechtenstein's slower pace of life. As an important node of Liechtenstein's "Culture Trail", traditional events such as the Medieval Market are held every year, allowing visitors to experience the richness of this miniature country in a relaxed atmosphere.
Ham-sur-Heure is a commune in the province of Enow in the Walloon Region of Belgium, located about 60 kilometers south of Brussels. Nestled along the River Eure, this quiet town is known for its idyllic scenery and historic buildings and has a population of about 7,000.
The 16th-century Château de Ham-sur-Heure, preserved in the center of the town and surrounded by a moat and park, is a local landmark. The nature trails along the River Eure are ideal for hiking and biking, and fishing and picnicking are common in the summer months. The traditional brick and stone houses, weekly market and St. Martin's Church are typical of Walloon country life.
The economy is based on agriculture and small-scale services, with easy access to the N55, which connects to the cities of Charleroi and Maubeuge. Honey and dairy products are produced in the region, and an annual village festival in the fall attracts tourists from around the region.
