Info
Hornussen ist eine Schweizer Mannschaftssportart, die hauptsächlich in den Mittellandkantonen Bern, Solothurn und Aargau betrieben wird.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornussen_(Sport)
Hornussen is an indigenous Swiss sport which can be described as a cross between baseball and golf. The sport gets its name from the puck which is known as a "Hornuss" (hornet) or "Nouss". When hit, it can whizz through the air at up to 300 km/h and create a buzzing sound.

| Thank you Kim - I think I'll leave it in German then, with a footnote, unless there is a recgonised translation somewhere out there? |

Googelt man nach "Hornussenstube" (nicht "Hornusserstube"), stellt sich heraus, dass viele Schweizer Gaststätten über einen derartigen Raum verfügen. Typischerweise bietet dieser Raum für ca. 20 Personen Platz.
