On the Golden Eagle Quiz, you embark on a circular route with quiz questions in Rosswald. It is quite possible that you will see a golden eagle circling during your hike.

Very close to Rosswald, at the Bortelalp, a pair of eagles has its breeding site. The eagles live in a large territory around the nesting site, so the eagles of Bortelalp are often seen above Rosswald.

The «King of the Skies», as the golden eagle is also called, is a fascinating bird of prey. On the circular route with quiz questions, you can learn a lot about this majestic bird.

At a total of seven stations, various questions are asked. Try to answer these and write the letter corresponding to the answer in the solution boxes on the back of the flyer. The flyer is available free of charge at the Rosswald cable car mountain station. At the end of your hike, you can read the solution word.
