Problem-solving thinking in the beech forest: creative adventures in the autumnal Sturmsang!

Problem-solving thinking in the Buchenwald: An adventure with Rosa Immergrün

The trees in Neflental are particularly beautiful in autumn. When Sturmsang visits the valley, the colourful leaves dance through the cool air like tiny flames. On this day, the Buchian beech forest awoke in the morning mist, and everything sparkled in copper, cinnamon and purple. In the roots and trunks of the mighty beeches, the Buchians whispered quiet stories. Many of them told of Lake Neflen, which lies in the valley like a mysterious mirror. They celebrated great feasts together around the harvest of the beech nuts.

Pink evergreen and the missing beech nuts

One windy autumn morning, the Buchians in the village noticed something strange: the new harvest of beech nuts had suddenly disappeared! Without the nuts, they couldn't celebrate their big autumn festival and everyone was at a loss. Many searched the leaves for traces. The wind danced through the golden leaves and created ghostly silhouettes on the forest floor. There were stories in the air, floating like flickering sparks between the trees.

Rosa Periwinkle heard the whispering of the others and decided to help. She knew that now was the time for problem-solving! Rosa Periwinkle first thought about where the nuts might be. Perhaps someone had hidden them? Or had the wind carried them away? She asked the old storytellers in the mist who told of past adventures. But no one had seen anything.

Finding solutions with creativity and courage

Rosa Periwinkle took a deep breath. She listened to the sounds of the storm. The leaves swirled with the wind spirals and she heard a soft cracking sound in the distance. She followed the sound, which led her to a small hill. There, Rosa Periwinkle discovered mysterious tracks in the soft foliage. She placed her hand on the ground. She felt that small animals had been nearby.

Rosa Periwinkle had a new idea: perhaps the beech nuts had become a gift for the animals of the forest! She searched for more clues. With every step, she discovered more nutshells and tiny footprints in the copper-coloured leaves.

She followed the tracks to an old beech tree, its branches reaching up into the misty sky like arms. There was a pile of beech nuts under the beech tree. Squirrels were jumping around among the roots, busily collecting them. But one remained behind - tangled in a dense pile of leaves.

Rosa Periwinkle quickly helped the little squirrel. It gave her a friendly wink and thanked her in its own way. Because Rosa Periwinkle was so friendly, the squirrel pushed a few beech nuts out of the pile. Now she could bring back enough nuts for the feast.

Celebrate, release and share in the Neflental valley

The Buchians were delighted when Rosa Periwinkle returned with the nuts she had won. She told them about her adventure and how she had come up with new ideas. They laughed together and praised Rosa Periwinkle for her bold thinking. The animals also got a share of the harvest because they are part of life in the beech forest.

The big autumn festival could begin - with dancing, music and warm light. In the evening, when the fog enveloped the village in the storm song, the Buchians continued to tell the story of Rosa Immergrün. The sparkling stories remained in the air like glowing sparks.

What do we learn from this?

Rosa Immergrün has shown how important problem-solving thinking is in everyday life. She found a solution with courage, creativity and friendship. So the party could go ahead after all. You can master any adventure together - if you think things through together and help each other. Memories of such experiences make life in the Neflental as colourful as the leaves in a storm.
