Local tips

  • Download the Labyrinthia app before you start the 3D and water mazes so you can scan QR codes, trigger water gates and collect digital diplomas without rushing.
  • Plan at least half a day: the 3D maze alone can take 30–45 minutes, and the indoor Puzzle Center is easy to get absorbed in once you start exploring the games.
  • Bring a light rain jacket or change of clothes for children if they want to fully enjoy the water maze, where playful sprays can leave you pleasantly soaked.
  • Consider packing your own picnic or ingredients for the free gas grills; the café offers food and drinks, but outdoor dining areas make self-catering very convenient.
  • If you visit with a dog, use the dedicated dog maze and water bar; keep your pet leashed elsewhere in the park to navigate the paths comfortably alongside families.

Getting There

  • Car from Silkeborg

    From central Silkeborg, reaching Labyrinthia by car typically takes 15–20 minutes, covering roughly 12–16 km on regional roads through the countryside. The route is straightforward and well signposted, with normal traffic outside weekday rush hours. Parking at Labyrinthia is free and usually sufficient for family cars and minibuses, but spaces closest to the entrance fill first on sunny weekends and school holidays.

  • Regional bus from Silkeborg area

    Regional buses serving the Them and Rodelund area connect from Silkeborg’s main bus stops, with journey times usually around 25–40 minutes depending on the line and time of day. Expect one to several departures per hour in daytime on weekdays, and fewer services in evenings and weekends. A single adult ticket within the local zone system is typically in the range of 20–40 DKK. Check current timetables in advance and be prepared for a short walk from the nearest stop along paved roads.

  • Bicycle from Silkeborg region

    For confident cyclists, Labyrinthia can be reached via local roads and cycle-friendly routes from Silkeborg in about 40–60 minutes each way, depending on your starting point and pace. The terrain is gently rolling rather than steep, with a mix of dedicated paths and quiet country roads. This option is best in daylight and dry conditions; carry lights and reflective gear if you may return in the evening, and bring a lock to secure your bike near the entrance.

A countryside world built entirely around mazes

Labyrinthia sits among gentle fields near Them, but once inside you step into a small world devoted to getting pleasantly lost. Instead of rollercoasters and loud rides, the focus here is on labyrinths in many shapes and sizes, scattered across green lawns and gravel paths. The park feels intimate and relaxed, with open skies, hedges, wooden fences and flowerbeds defining the different areas. Everything revolves around the simple idea of finding your way. Paths twist, double back and cross, inviting you to choose routes, cooperate or compete, and laugh at wrong turns. The scale is human rather than overwhelming: big enough to feel like an adventure, small enough that families can let older children explore semi‑independently while still keeping an eye on them.

The 3D maze and playful outdoor challenges

The park’s signature is its 3D labyrinth, a raised wooden maze built around concrete posts, covering around 1,300 square metres with roughly a kilometre of pathways. You move along platforms, ramps and corridors that blur your sense of direction, looking for checkpoints and hidden corners. Completing it typically takes half an hour or more, especially if you pause to scan QR codes with the park’s app to unlock a completion diploma. Around it, other mazes add variety. A football race maze turns ball control into a mini competition, as you dribble carefully along a marked course without losing your shot. There is a dedicated dog maze, letting four‑legged visitors test their noses and curiosity before returning to a shaded water “doggy bar”. Throughout the grounds you find smaller puzzles, game boards and brainteasers that spill the maze theme into open areas.

Water, roses and historical patterns

One of the most atmospheric corners of Labyrinthia is the water maze, where walkways are lined with hundreds of fragrant roses. It is as much a sensory garden as a puzzle, with jets and gates that can soak the unwary. Using the park’s app, you can trigger the water features from your phone, deciding who stays dry and who walks straight into a sudden spray. Elsewhere, two historical labyrinths reveal the cultural side of maze design. A Trojan-style layout evokes Bronze Age patterns, while a Chartres-inspired design recalls medieval cathedral pavements. These are not about getting stuck but about following a single winding route, allowing time for quiet reflection and appreciation of the geometry underfoot. They add a contemplative angle to a park otherwise filled with movement and laughter.

The indoor Puzzle Center and cozy breaks

When legs tire or the weather turns, the old stable building becomes the heart of the visit. Converted into a Puzzle Center, it houses more than fifty different logic games, brainteasers and tabletop challenges at varying difficulty levels. Families gather around wooden puzzles, sliding games and cooperative tasks, often lingering longer than planned as “just one more” puzzle proves irresistible. The on‑site café keeps the atmosphere informal, offering simple hot dishes, sandwiches, snacks, ice cream and drinks. You can eat indoors or out on a sunny south‑facing terrace. Many visitors bring their own food instead, using picnic tables or the free gas grills to prepare a relaxed meal between maze sessions. The overall feel is unhurried and homely rather than commercial.

Who will enjoy Labyrinthia most

Labyrinthia is particularly appealing to families with school‑age children and teens, groups of friends, and curious adults who enjoy low‑tech challenges. It works well as a half‑day or full‑day outing, especially for those staying in Silkeborg or exploring central Jutland’s lakes and forests. The ground is mostly level grass and gravel, though some mazes and the 3D structure involve steps and tighter turns. The park is seasonal, with a main opening period in the warmer months, and it closes over winter. On cooler or breezier days, the mix of indoor and outdoor activities means there is still plenty to do. Rather than thrills or spectacle, Labyrinthia offers shared problem‑solving, gentle exercise and a pleasant taste of Danish countryside “hygge” wrapped in a maze theme.
