Labyrinths cut into cornfields toward the end of summer have established themselves as local seasonal tourism attractions in Estonia. This year, two different labyrinths offer visitors a test of their sense of direction until the end of September: one in central Estonia, and the other on Saaremaa.<\/p>\n
For the Sakk family, who run the Toretalu tourism farm in the village of Uuev\u00e4lja near P\u00f5ltsamaa, creating labyrinths has already been a 15-summer tradition. Every year, a new pattern is designed and cut with a trimmer into the six-hectare field, featuring corridors and a theme reflecting current phenomena: this year, for example, a design conveying a wartime theme.<\/p>\n
A sketch of the pattern is given to visitors as a clue map. Six checkpoints have been hidden in the labyrinth for visitors to find. The difficulty of the route varies according to the pattern, keeping things interesting and encouraging some visitors to return to take on the challenge again and again. The family offers a small sweet prize to everyone who finds all the checkpoints.<\/p>\n
The Toretalu farm<\/span><\/a><\/span> itself is also part of the experience. For a symbolic admission fee, families can visit the farm every day from 12:00 to 19:00 to see the farm animals, play areas and other activities created around the farm.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The other corn labyrinth this summer is a new attraction on Saaremaa, located along the road leading northwest from Kuressaare towards Lake Karuj\u00e4rv, near K\u00e4rla farm.
