Hornussen is a team sport where two teams compete with each other on the field. The objective of the sport is to strike the hornet with the metal bat as far as possible. Each competing team takes turns to flick the hornet, while the opposing team tries to strike down the hornet with a wooden paddle. They also try to throw the paddles in the air so that they can successfully block the hornet’s passage. Scores are only awarded if the hornet directly falls on the ground without any contact or blocking from the opposing team. The team with maximum scores wins the match.
