Dive into a one-of-a-kind adventure! The popular corn maze in Vorchdorf is opening its gates again this year—with an impressive new theme:
Escape to Australia—Off to the Outback!
This year, a giant kangaroo and a koala form the corn maze, which measures approximately 250 by 170 meters. Starting in mid-July, guests of all ages can explore the stations, which are easily recognizable from a distance thanks to large wind vanes.
In the middle of the artfully cut maze, exciting questions await you, which you’ll have to discover along the way. But watch out: For the first time this year, answers are submitted via a Google Form—conveniently using your smartphone! So pay close attention—you might even win a prize!
But the usual orientation guide will also be available again, because this year the maze is bigger than ever before—the network of paths has never been so extensive in the last seven editions!
Anyone setting out on this adventure should be prepared for a good-length hike.
Tip: Don’t forget your smartphone—for the Google Form and some great photos! Be sure to bring sturdy shoes—and if you want to play it safe, it’s best to bring a second pair.
Season start: probably mid-JULY again— when the corn is ready!—If it’s ready sooner, we’ll let you know right away, of course!
Whether you’re a family, a school class, or a group of adventurers—the corn maze is an experience for young and old alike. So come on by and let Jumpy and Gipsy’s winding paths challenge you!
If the weather isn’t so great and the maze is unfortunately closed, our spacious playground is always available to you—with a variety of play equipment for the kids to let off steam.
With that in mind—head over to the Wirt in der Edt—admission is—as it is every year—free, though we welcome voluntary donations!
