Italy:
How we all love a great labyrinth, don’t we? But did you know that the largest maze of the world is made of 17 acres of tunnels? Made from green bamboo, it still lives and grows till this day.
Amazing, right?
The Labrinto della Masone in Italy. This maze was created with various species of bamboo making it quite unique compared to other hedge mazes that many are used to. Rather than being able to jump a bit to maybe catch a glimpse over the top of the average maze, the Masone Labyrinth makes maze-goers feel as though they’re completely encompassed within walls of green bamboo. This makes for quite the intense and authentic maze-like experience as they attempt to work their way through all 17 acres of these tunnels.
The maze was created by mastermind Franco Maria Ricci – a publisher, bibliophile, and art collector – in Fontanelllato, Italy, back in the 1980s and is still living and growing to this day.
