I’m a Fan of a Maize Maze

· 2 Comments ·

What it looks when you’re in the maize maze:

And this is what it looks like if you’re tall and on your tippy toes;

But mostly it looks like this:

The object is to find nine boards with clues to a puzzle which will lead to a one word solution. Every year the maze is new and has a different theme. This year it is about Greek and Roman mythology.

In the middle is a tower structure where one is able to get an overview of the maze:

With renewed hope to find the final board and the last clue one can go back down but then it’s back to this:

Fortunately we weren’t stuck in the maze until the end of the harvest. This little fellow led us out. If you believe that.

I’m a Fan of the Limes

· 6 Comments ·

The Roman limes, the fortified border of the Roman Empire in North Eastern Europe, has left traces which can still be found almost 2000 years later. But a lot of the fortification were wooden. In Vielbrunn im Odenwald they reconstructed a limes watchtower on stone foundations.

The tower is open on weekends and public holidays. If you arrive, like I did, when it’s closed you can look at the construction on several large information boards.

I think I’ll be back to have a look inside.
