The labyrinth can be found in the Polish Tatra Mountains at the base of the Great Krokiew – Zakopane’s famous ski jump slope. It is the largest such labyrinth in the world, boasting a 3,000 square meter area and its walls are over 2 meters tall. It is made up of 60,000 ice bricks and in the evenings, the construction is colorfully illuminated.
It first appeared in 2016 and has been a tourist favorite ever since.
The construction of the attraction can only occur in negative temperatures and takes about a month to build. It then sticks around till Spring and is reconstructed again in December.
Other attractions around the labyrinth include a snow castle, complete with arches, walls, terraces and halls. From this castle, visitors are able to see all of Zakopane’s beauty, including the famous Giewont mountain.
