How many countries are double landlocked?
A country is “doubly landlocked” or “double-landlocked” when it is surrounded only by landlocked countries (requiring the crossing of at least two national borders to reach a coastline). There are two such countries:
- Liechtenstein in Central Europe, surrounded by Austria and Switzerland.
- Uzbekistan in Central Asia, surrounded by Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
I have just returned from almost two weeks in Uzbekistan but I have never visited Liechtenstein.
