Description
Legend has it that those who make it through the labyrinth on Öja–Landsort will be bestowed protection from sea and many fish. There's only one right way through the labyrinth, and those who enter must reach the centre and then find their way out again. Hopping over the walls is said to bring bad luck.
The exact age of the labyrinth is unknown, but the pattern itself has been around for at least 3000 years. Read more about the labyrinth and its history on the informational sign.
