The pavilion
The pavilion is closed until the beginning of June 2024.
The “Virgin Forest Pavilion” is situated on the road to Pragelpass just across the road from the inn Unter Roggenloch. The exhibition offers first steps into the subject and is the starting point for the thematic path “Virgin Forest Track”.
