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 hang out 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 maze game was created by four people with about 300-350 hours of work

With the help of a hoe and a tape measure, the one and a half meter wide streets were cut between the corn when the plants were eight leaves old, with an accuracy of ten centimetres, he said. Thanks to the rainy weather and the seeds used – provided by Gabonakutató Nonprofit Kft. – the height of the plants reaches, and even exceeds 2.5 meters in some places, so the visitor sees only the blue sky and the green wall formed by the rows of corn. The labyrinth can be visited until the corn is harvested, according to the plans, until August 20.
