A-maze-d: Green Labyrinths of Poland

I like puzzles, mazes and get really excited when people start to talk about treasure hunting and secrets (like recent news about the Nazi Gold train found by treasure hunters in Walbrzych, Poland). One of my favorite movies would be 'The Gonnies'. Maybe that is why I am always interested in news about treasures or labyrinths...or a pot of gold waiting on the other side of the rainbow. Solving mysteries and trying to find a way out is always fun.  Scoobby Doo style. 

Check out this three Labyrinths of Poland

1. Hortulus Spectabilis in Dobrzyca near Kołobrzeg.

In a place called Hortulus Spectabilis (I just love the name of this place, it sounds like a magic spell). There is a natural grown labyrinth planted in 2003 for adult size people with 50 m tall observation tower. The total surface is 10150 m2 (1 ha). 

2. World's biggest Saint Jean Paul II portrait Labyrinth in Kurozwęki

Owner of the Kurozwęki Palace in Poland decided to open a cornfield labyrinth in a shape of the Saint Jean Paul II in 2015. On the total surface of 4,5 ha. Every year the theme for labyrinth changes

The shortest distance between entrance and exit is 2 km i 21 m. The total path length is 4km i 780 m. Well actually owners of that place open different labyrinth every year. First one was set up in 2009. They hide questions on the paths of the maze. Every participant of the game is supposed to find the hidden questions and use them to solve a special crossword puzzle and then take part in a prize lottery. It is said that there is no mobile phone signal available on the field so it makes it harder to cheat and also it is harder to find a way out. Oh btw the field is located next to another one....with Hemp plantation grown for non-drug purposes (that means the plants contains below 0,2% D9THC). There is of course a smaller hemp labyrinth on it as well. 

So the Jean Paul II Looks like good fun but mostly for the kids. I assume this one is not very tall. For adult fun I would choose the one by the seaside in Dobrzyca or the below in Łeba.

3. Labirynt Park Łeba

The largest in Poland - 3d labyrinth on the total surface of 5000 square metres. This one however is really easy as there are no blank alleys and only one way goes through from start to exit.

4. Cornfield Labyrinth in Kobierzyce near Wrocław

Located in the middle of a cornfield, free to entry. Best to visit during night.
