A walk through the labyrinth of Schonbrunn Palace

Schonbrunn Palace Labyrinth

One of Vienna's must-sees is the elegant and noble Schonbrunn Palace. Visits are always great and it's hard to imagine what it would be like to live surrounded by so much wealth in a world where there were only rich and poor. Nothing in between.

This palace was originally the hunting ground and summer residence of the Habsburg dynasty, and beyond its beauty and elegance the gardens are also beautiful and we can go through them. Especially now that it is summer and the walks can be more enjoyable. Here in these gardens the Irrgarten or forgotten garden hides, the fabulous labyrinth green.

The original green maze It was demolished in 1892. Until then it seems that the ladies of the court and other personalities used to meet in the middle, in the heart of the labyrinth, to have meetings of questionable morals. He disappeared from the plans for a long time until someone came up with the idea of ​​bringing him back to life in 1989. Thus, the original plans were obtained, the labyrinth had been drawn in 1686, and then it was rebuilt.

The truth is that the labyrinth of the Schonbrunn Palace gardens is quite complicated to finish successfully. I challenge you to try.
