Virgin forest pavilion

The pavilion is expected to be open until the beginning of October 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”.

The “Virgin Forest Pavilion” and the “Virgin Forest Track” were established in July 2015 and financed by the ACCENTUS foundation (Liselotte und Hans Schellenberg-Schwegler trust), Zurich and the lottery trust Schwyz.
