    Hi Guys. I'm a Swiss and I play Hornussen since 13 years. Hornussen is very funny but it isn't a game of farmers. All people can play that. And Hornussen isn't played in small area. It's played everywhere in Switzerland. But it's right that the most teams are in the Emmental. Ask me when you need more informations.

    I just came back from such a game. It's only played in one small area of Switzerland(the valley of Emmental). Even me -as a Swiss- I saw this game for the first time live. It was interesting and sure good fun!
