Very few know that in Poland it is the largest snow maze in the world. Let alone, perhaps, that entertainment will be open until it literally melts away.
Snowlandia has been located in Zakopane in southern Poland since 2016. It is 2,500 square meters in size and is made up of tens of thousands of blocks of ice. Its walls, at least two meters high, prevent anyone from seeing what is happening behind.
When you enter, you can do it through a 14m high ice castle similar to those from medieval times.
An interesting feature of the labyrinth has to do with its goal: those who manage to pass it will be able to enter an observation platform that promises spectacular views of the whole place.
Depending on the ability of each participant to overcome obstacles, finishing the maze can take hours.
It’s not just a maze
In Snowland you can come across various curiosities, such as knights fighting or a blacksmith working.
Whoever finds the exit will be able to choose whether to end the labyrinth by going through a door or, which is much more challenging, by climbing an ice slide.
Additionally, Snowlandia serves as a theme park that is also home to a zoo featuring local animals like arctic fox and mountain sheep, as well as ice and snow sculptures and a toboggan run.
Two more spectacular labyrinths
There are different considerations as to which is the largest in the world, but the one that has earned Guinness recognition and is monstrous in size is the Chinese labyrinth. Yancheng Dafeng’s dream.
This is a huge complex that opened in September 2017 from 35,596.74 sq m. To get out of it, you have to travel 9,457 meters, that is almost 10 kilometers.
But there are also those who think that the Masone labyrinthbased in Parma, Italy, is “the largest maze in the world”. Although it looks smaller than Chinese, stands out on him for his elegance and perfectionism. It’s more of a work of art than anything else.
This labyrinth built by Franco Maria Ricci with more than 200,000 bamboos of different species, it was inaugurated in 2015.
According to Esquire, several giant bamboos, including Phyllostachys viridis and Phyllostachys nigra Henonis, can be identified in the structure, as well as dwarf and medium-sized specimens, including Phyllostachys bissetii and Pseudosasa japonica.
The Masonese Labyrinth takes place on a route of eight points that make up four individual labyrinths, offering a total distance of over three kilometres.
