So if you want to experence something original, go to Switzerland or to Basque Country. There you can look at Rural Sports. Very interesting indeed! Every 3rd year they organize in Switzerland a Festival, or national competitions in rural sports. I was there 5 years ago, in Frauenfeld. I was also in Euskal Jaiak, Basque Country. About that tomorrow in my other blog "TastingRussiaAndSpain".
Here you can read my article about the Festivities (in Finnish). Next time it will be organized in Estavayer-de-Lac in the year 2016 and I suppose in August. As mentioned also in this article in the Swiss Newspaper from last August. So you can begin with the preparations for the trip. In the article they also infom that Kilian Wenger,
the Champion of the Eidgenössisches Schwingfest of the year 2010 has to break down his season 2015 due to injuries...
Yes, this Festival is really worth experiencing.You can see there Hornussen:
and Steinstossen (Stone Put):
and of course Schwingen (Swiss Wrestling):
as well as Fahnenschwingen (Flagspinning) and Alphorn playing.
But of course you can also see these Sportsart at other times when traveeling in Switzerland, jus keep your eyas and ears open or ask for more information when in Switzerland. You will find smaller competitions in Swiss villages...
So you are Well-Come and Well-Go to Switzerland...To buy for you a new Swatch!
Or to drink the tasty Appenzeller Beer!
Prost! Grüezi!
