In a four-and-a-half-hectare cornfield, they created an almost five-kilometer labyrinth on the border of Kiszombor in the Csongrád-Csanád counties.
Erzsébet Endrész, president of the organizer Kiss Mária Hortensia Honismereti Kör, told MTI that Éva Prónai designed the diagram of this year's maze on graph paper in about 30 hours. This year, the century-old bells of Kiszombor appear in the pattern created by the paths, the motif of a leaf and an acorn, the waves of Lake Vályogos and the shape of a fish and an owl, many of which linger in the trees of the main square in memory of the oak tree standing next to the bicycle path connecting the village with Mako.
The life-size version of the labyrinth game was created by four people with about 300-350 hours of work. With the help of a hoe and measuring tape, they cut the one-and-a-half-meter-wide streets between the corn when the plants were eight leaves old, he said. Thanks to the rainy weather and the seed used, which was provided by Gabonakutató Nonprofit Kft., the height of the plants reaches, and in some places even exceeds 2.5 meters, so the visitor only sees the blue sky and the green wall formed by the corn row.
The labyrinth can be visited until the corn is harvested, according to the plans, until August 20.
On Saturday, the opening day, visitors will be treated to bow training. In addition to exploring the path through the labyrinth, the guests can also take part in a treasure hunt every Saturday, and in the coming weeks, according to the plans, the association will also organize astronomy and archeology lectures at the maze, the president said.
