This collection of eleven labyrinths and mazes, varying greatly both in size and in the materials they are made from, is the first in the Czech Republic and the only one in Europe. As you walk along the paths between the individual mazes you'll read about the history of mazes and labyrinths and about how they have been used to aid meditation and in works of art.
The Labyrintarium (
