The stone labyrinths around the Baltic coast have been dated to between the 13th century and modern times, with a peak in the 16th and 17th centuries.
There were once many hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of these labyrinths around the Baltic Sea, throughout Fennoscandia and the Baltic countries, and many of them still survive, particularly in remote areas. There are also similar stone labyrinths in the Kola Peninsula and coasts and islands of the White Sea, such as Stone labyrinths of Bolshoi Zayatsky Island. For some reason these northern labyrinths are almost all close to the sea. Some have suggested that they were markings of seafarers, perhaps even used for navigation. Many of the stone labyrinths around the Baltic coast of Sweden were built by fishermen during rough weather and were believed to entrap evil spirits, the "smågubbar" or "little people" who brought bad luck. The fishermen would walk to the centre of the labyrinth, enticing the spirits to follow them, and then run out and put to sea.

Europe, The Netherlands, Mist, Gelderland, Nijmegen, Waal, Spoorbrug, Waalkade, Labyrinth (cut from B)
The Labyrinth was created in 1982, after the new Waalkade flood defence wall was realized. It's situated at the place where until 1881 the old Waalhaven was located. The design is commissioned by the municipality of Nijmegen and realized by Klaus van de Locht. It has a diameter of 24 m and consists of nine concentrically arranged water channels. The black stone at the right edge of the frame is the Labyrinth's centre. It’s a sculpted piece of basalt retrieved from the river Waal. Symbolism galore. The Labyrinth is skirted by a 350 m circular walkway of basalt stones.
