If you enter the word "labyrinth" into
a searching machine, you will be surprised by the number of hits. But
unfortunately it is like the paths in a maze: Most of them are wrong.
I tried to find out some of the most essential. I would like to show
them to you. Here is a partial and subjective choice.
Thanks to the people behind this websites who want
to share their labyrinth experiences with you.
Surely you will find there what you didn't find here.
Note for my English-speaking visitors: Because
this website is originally a German one, the links below are to German-spoken
websites. You have an own page with links to English-spoken websites.
