Team spirit for victory: unbeatable together!

With team spirit to victory - adventures in the Bernblütenhain

The glorious high season is the most radiant time in the Neflental. The sun's gold dances everywhere on the meadows and the light glistens in small lakes. The residents gather on the riverbank because today is the big team competition in the Bernblütenhain. The air smells of honey and summer rain, while lanterns float softly in the twilight.

Together instead of alone - the magic of the team

Rosa Periwinkle sits at the edge of the amber blossom grove with her friends: Lumo, the nimble Flossian, Tarella, the white fairy princess, and Bork, the strong mountain stone. They are determined to take part in the glowing sun race. They know that team spirit is important because tasks await them that are too difficult to tackle alone.

The Sun Run is no ordinary competition. The participants have to run together through blooming fields, cross glistening rivers and solve tricky puzzles. Only if the team sticks together can it reach the finish line. With so many tasks awaiting them, Rosa Periwinkle and her friends practise working together by the river.

The start in the Bernblütenhain

As the starting shot is fired, the light shimmers in shades of amber and gold over the amber blossom grove. The golden yellow flowers smell sweet. Many colourful teams run off, but Rosa Periwinkle remains calm. She looks after her friends and calls out softly: "Together we can do it!"

Right at the first river, the team is faced with a difficult task. A footbridge made of slippery stones leads to the other bank. It looks dangerous, but Lumo bravely hops across first. He helps the others across with his long arm. They all hold on tightly because they know that no one must be left behind.

A riddle at the height of splendour

The leaves sparkle like gemstones in the sunlight at the height of the glow when the team arrives for the second game. Here they have to solve a puzzle that can only be solved by four people. Each team member knows something different. Rosa Periwinkle suggests: "Let's share our ideas, that way we can find the answer!" After a few attempts, they solve the puzzle together because everyone has contributed something.

The joy is great and the team continues to run through the Bernblütenhain. The light paints colourful patterns on their faces and everyone laughs as they jump over a small stream. The final challenge awaits on the other side.

The big goal - victory thanks to team spirit

There is a huge carpet of flowers in front of them. They have to pick a large golden blossom without crushing a single other flower. They all think hard. Then Rosa Periwinkle and her friends form a circle around the golden flower. Hand in hand, they slowly feel their way forwards, each taking care of the flowers around them. This is how the team reaches the flower - and picks it carefully.

The other teams cheer as Rosa Periwinkle and her friends cross the finish line. The jury announces: "You are unbeatable because you stick together as a team!" The revellers on the shore dance in the light, which is now shimmering sapphire blue and coral red. Little stories about team spirit are told everywhere.

What do we learn from this?

In the Neflental valley, it is clear that we are only strong together. Everyone in the team has something special, and together we can overcome great challenges. The Bernblütenhain and the cheerful voices in the evening remind everyone: with team spirit, we are unbeatable!
