Very impressive fortress that can only give us an idea of what it must have been like to live here during the war. Countless tunnels and passageways that lead to storage rooms, sleeping caves and firing positions.

According to a sign, the name has something to do with the town of Lippe - the designation "Switzerland" is probably intended to indicate the steep incline of this section - after all, a difference in altitude of around 200m with a length of (as the crow flies) 500m

The Swiss Lippique is a German masonry trench identical to that of my Himmelsleiter.
