Did you spot it, him, her, or it, in winter too? Who or what, and where? We’d really like to know who or what as well! But we do know where — over the Rittner Horn. Many skiers, sledders, and hikers kept wondering… Who’s flying over the Rittner Horn? It’s not a paraglider, not a hang glider… or is it? What or who could it possibly be? The phones at the cable car office and the tourist association were ringing off the hook! Everyone wanted to know who or what was spreading its wings over the Rittner Horn. Quite mysterious!

So Markus Untermarzoner, president of the Rittner Horn Cableways AG, decided to send out spies.
Not an easy task! Because every time the spies flew over the Rittner Horn with their paragliders — the mysterious flying object had vanished again…

There’s a saying: “Patience is the key to joy.”
And that was certainly true for us on the Ritten.

One day, long after the last skier had left the slopes and the first signs of spring smiled in the sun, it finally happened!
Spy Andi, who never stopped gliding over the Rittner Horn with his paraglider, saw it — him, her… or it???
You won’t believe who or what he discovered!

And now you are being named official spies too!
Solve the riddle and you’ll see the first part of a word creation. Two more puzzles will follow — and then you’ll find out what the mysterious flying object over the Ritten is actually up to.

We can reveal one thing… get excited, because it’s going to be s_ _ _ _ ful!
Is it a living creature or a flying object, a giant balloon???
Whatever it is, it’s feathered and it’s a T _ _ _, soaring with spying eyes over the Rittner Horn.
This “specimen” has brown F _ _ _ _ _s, with an impressive two-meter wingspan when stretched out.
And… it’s planning something wonderful!
But that’s all we’ll tell you… for now.

Until then… we can’t wait! 😊
