Water labyrinth
Do you dare to get a little wet?
Humans have always been fascinated by labyrinths. For thousands of years, the labyrinth in European culture has symbolized the human journey through life, and throughout history, people have sought to uncover its solution.
Ancient people searched for the ultimate truth, medieval people sought eternal salvation, and modern people seek to find their own "self." For all of them, the path seems to lead through a labyrinth.
When mentioning the word “labyrinth,” most people think of intricate pathways where one can get lost. However, there are also other types of labyrinths where getting lost is not possible.
Labyrinths vary greatly, appear in many forms, and are made from many different materials.
Labyrinths exist in many different cultures and countries.
The oldest type of labyrinth was laid in stone as far back as the Bronze Age.
The second oldest type is church labyrinths, inlaid in tiles on medieval church floors in the 13th century. In Denmark, they were created as fresco paintings in the 15th century.
The third type is hedge mazes, which were established in castle and manor gardens between the 15th and 17th centuries. Today, there are also other variations, some of which have specific rules to be followed in order to solve the labyrinth’s mystery.
Der skelnes traditionelt mellem 2 typer af labyrinter: Labyrinter med én vej og labyrinter med flere veje.
Er den aller ældste form for labyrinter. Der er 2 karakteristiske grundtyper (efter udformningen af mønstre): Den ene er Trojaborgtypen og den anden er Chartres-typen. Mange labyrint-grundplaner tager udgangspunkt i en af disse to typer. Fælles for disse to labyrint-typer er, at når man er nået ind til målet i midten, så har man været igennem alle gangene. Der er ingen blindgange. Man bliver ligesom ført hele vejen ind og ud. Systemet virker harmonisk. Der er ét kontinuerligt gangforløb.

Modsat er det med flervejs-labyrinter, som f.eks. hækkelabyrinterne, hvor man kan fare vild, fordi de har blindgange. Der er hele tiden valgmuligheder. Man stilles til stadighed over for afgørelser: Hvor går den rigtige vej til målet?
Labyrinthia har både moderne (flervejs-) labyrinter og historiske (envejs-) labyrinter.
