Oetker's new corn maze: A summer adventure for young and old!

Oetker's new corn maze: A summer adventure for young and old!

The anticipation for summer is increasing because the Oetker family from Neuenkirchen has big plans. As the District newspaper reports, a new corn maze will be created and will open on July 20, 2025. The family has taken on the main responsibility with Maren Sieck-Oetker and her son Lennart, while her husband Lars-Christian takes care of sowing the corn.

The labyrinth will thrive over two acres and the corn will grow faster this season than last. During the holidays, the opening hours are set from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., after which it will be open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Anyone who stops by outside of these times can also enter the field, but will have to forego the service. The Oetker family has come up with a very special concept and offers drinks and snacks on a trust basis.

The attractions of the labyrinth

There is a lot to discover for the young and young at heart adventure seekers. An interactive “i-Mais Rally” that can be carried out using mobile phones is being planned. A children's course and a special course for adults are also offered. A highlight will be the children's birthday parties in the labyrinth. These can easily be reserved by calling 01 72 / 4 17 09 37. Parents can also look forward to the “Search for the Golden Egg” – fun for the whole family.

The concept could grow even further as the Oetker family is planning a “mastership” and evening events such as cocktail parties or night hikes. A big attraction of last season was that there were no visitors to the labyrinth for just three days, a true testament to the huge popularity.

A trendy destination

Corn mazes have also become increasingly popular in Germany in recent years. Country and forest notes that more and more of these creative leisure activities are emerging that invite you to relax and experience adventure. They are not only a typical excursion destination for families, but also a place where you can learn more about the local flora and fauna.

With a large area of ​​around seven football fields, these labyrinths make quite an impression. They are usually open from July to October, when the corn plants are tall and dense, and entry is usually cheap. Anyone interested in such an adventure should definitely find out about the attractions in the area. These experiences are often rounded off by events such as scary tours or wine walks for adults - as in the case of a labyrinth on the K74 between Nettelrede and Böbber.

In summary, the Oetker family's new offerings represent another treasure in the colorful landscape of corn mazes and that anyone who spends the coming summer in Neuenkirchen can expect not only fun, but also an interactive experience in the field.
