The Schweizerei near Rotenkirchen is located in the middle of the forest and can be reached via a 4.88-kilometre circular route.

The building of the former Schweizerei is now used as the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics. Nevertheless, its façade has been preserved. 

The fact that the path leads through the forest makes it  wonderful for nature lovers:inside

Schweizerei - Built in the Alpine style.

The building was built in the Alpine style with wooden cladding, a low roof pitch and large roof overhangs and exterior gallery. It served the Vicereine and Duchess of Cambridge, Auguste Wilhelmine of Great Britain, Ireland and Hanover (*1797-† 1889) as a private retreat during her stays at her summer residence in Rotenkirchen.

Today, the "Schweizerei" houses branches of the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) and the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG).
