Liechtenstein measures just 24km x 12.5km and is the fourth smallest state in Europe. However, it possesses great natural riches and 1600 plant species occur in its mountains and forests, and all Alpine areas of Liechtenstein have been declared an integral floral reserve to proctect plants such as the edelweiss and gentians. Edwin Giesbers from Holland trained his macro lens on the beautiful wildflowers and associated insects of Liechtenstein's Alpine meadows.
