Labyrint Drielandenpunt

Hotels near Labyrint Drielandenpunt, Aachen, Germany .

The Drielandenpunt Labyrinth (or Three Country Labyrinth) is Europe's largest outdoor shrub maze. It was built by British landscape artist Adrian Fisher who used 17,000 hornbeam shrubs to create the maze. The maze was laid out in 1992. Not only is the maze the most South-Easterly place in the Netherlands, it is also the highest one(323 metres above sea level). The most exciting aspect of the Drielanden Labyrinth however, is, as its namesake suggests, that it is located where 3 countries meet (the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany).
In the centre of the maze, which is said to take up to an hour to complete, is a platform allowing visitors to look off into any of the three countries as well as at their fellow maze travelers as they struggle in the network of hornbeams below.From this center platform flies the flag of the European Union.
Around the labyrinth are a handful of other recreational activities for visitors to enjoy. There is a playground for the younger people and clay shooting and archery for the older crowd. Fittingly enough, there are also smuggling games for visitors to play, where they reenact the once frequent passage of smugglers looking to save their money by ilegally crossing borders.The huge natural maze is open daily from 10am to 6pm.
Also, this is an area of outstanding natural beauty with undulating green hills, which makes it an ideal place to go hiking.
For longer visits hotels are available in the area,such as:
- Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, located about 1,2 km away from the labyrinth
- Bilderberg Kasteel Vaalsbroek, located about 1,4 km away from the labyrinth
