Have you ever heard of a country where women date by climbing mountains? A place where a prince actually lives in an ancient castle on a hill and the whole nation is invited in to party with the prince. The national anthem is the same tune as the national anthem of the United Kingdom. And each year the country produces over 60 million false teeth. And perhaps the most amazing fact, you can rent the entire country for just $70,000 a day. That’s Leenstein, a tiny kingdom in the heart of Europe. Join us as we explore 15 of the most bizarre and surprising facts about Leenstein in today’s travel documentary. Number 15, Likenstein. Europe’s most exclusive and priceless gem. Tucked away in the majestic Alps, Leakenstein is one of the smallest countries in the world, covering just 62 square miles, smaller than Washington DC. Yet, this country boasts one of the highest GDPs per capita globally, exceeding $200,000 per person, far surpassing the average in the US and most of Europe. Officially known as the principality of Likenstein, this landlocked nation borders only Switzerland and Austria, making it one of only two countries in the world that is landlocked but near the sea. The capital Vadus rests peacefully beside the Rin River, highlighted by the ancient Vadus Castle, where the royal family still resides. Today, the population is around 40,077 people, equivalent to a small town in Idaho. The main language is German, though locals often use a regional Alpine dialect. The climate here is quite mild. Summer temperatures hover around 74° Fahrenheit, while winters dip to about 26° Fahrenheit, ideal for skiing and hiking. Interestingly, there are no airports and no military. Yet, the safety and quality of life in Leenstein are among the best in the world. Number 14, the only national ski resort in Lieutenant.

Winters here are blanketed in fresh snow, while summers transform it into a trekking paradise with over 30 trails winding around waterfalls, meadows, and mountain lakes. What’s intriguing is that Melbourne doesn’t have the glitzy vibe of many famous European resorts. Instead, it resembles a scene from a fairy tale with sloping roof wooden houses, gentle smoke rising from chimneys, surrounded by pine forests, and pristine snow. Melbourne offers ski runs for all levels, but it particularly shines as a familyfriendly destination with ski schools and playgrounds right on the snow. From the top of Melbourne, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Alps stretching into Switzerland and Austria. A milliondoll view cherished by Europe’s wealthy. And here’s the coolest part.

With ash brown hair, fair skin, and deep set eyes, what stands out the most is their demeanor, poised, reserved, and refined. Interestingly, they’re not ladies in the T-room, but often serve as financial managers at home or hold high positions in banking, healthare, and education. Their full-time employment rates exceed those in many EU countries. Yet, they still find time to bake, make jam, or hand sew traditional dresses for festive occasions like Fasn. In romance, Likenstein women aren’t in a rush to fall in love or get married. They believe in mature, companionable relationships rather than dependency. Many date by climbing mountains, canoeing, or leisurely walking on Sunday mornings. No one wears headphones. They listen to birds, the wind, and if you’re lucky, a gentle laugh in the mist. Notably, they don’t actively seek partners. But if you share their pace of life, love nature, and know how to listen, that Alpine lady might invite you to a cafe site, a perfect first step towards something lasting.
