Ópusztaszer’s Csillagösvény Labyrinth Eco Adventure Park heads into 2026 with a full calendar and an unforgettable setting. Right next to the National Historical Memorial Park stands the world’s third-largest maze, a 2.17-mile corridor of living hedges whose pattern is visible from space: it traces the legendary Csodaszarvas (Miraculous Stag). The hedge labyrinth includes a riddle trail for all ages, while kids can take over a one-of-a-kind “sand factory” and try traditional folk games. Older visitors can test themselves on logic carpet mazes you won’t find anywhere else in Hungary. Find it at 6767 Ópusztaszer, Szoborkert utca 1.
Dates to circle in 2026
May 2 – Nighttime Labyrinth: Experience adventure after dark in the Csillagösvény. Between the hedges you’re not only searching for the path; light and shadow lead you on, the starry sky shifts the mood with every step, and the question lingers: will you find the exit by midnight? No rush. No hurry. Just step in and let it carry you. Ópusztaszer.
May 16 – Just a Picnic: An all-day plunge into a realm of dragons, from morning to night. The labyrinth transforms—Sárkányliget (Dragon Grove) is born. Stories, legends, adventures. A place where imagination takes the reins and you can track dragons through the green. Be among the first to explore. Meet the seven-headed dragon—and if you’ve got the nerve, take it on with a sword. Expect puppet theater for kids and grown-ups, live medieval instrumental music that drops you back in time, street food favorites, and wines, beers, and cocktails to suit every taste. After dusk, the Nighttime Labyrinth returns with fire, smoke, and darkness—can you still find the way out? It’s not a regular day; it’s a full-on experience, from breakfast to midnight. Ópusztaszer.
May 16 – Nighttime Labyrinth (Dragon Grove edition): As night falls, the maze changes feel again. Light and shadow guide you; under a sky full of stars, every step hits differently. The midnight exit challenge stands. On this date the mood tilts toward Sárkányliget (Dragon Grove), adding a pinch of mystique to the evening. No rush. Step in and let it take you. Ópusztaszer.
May 24 – Nighttime Labyrinth: The after-dark challenge returns with the same starlit tension and the same question—can you beat midnight? Ópusztaszer.

What makes the maze special
This is not a pop-up puzzle. The hedge walls stretch 3.5 km (2.17 miles), cut into the silhouette of the mythical stag, a nod to deep Hungarian legend that literally shows up on satellite images. The experience layers games, riddles, and tactile challenges: folk play for small kids, rare logic carpet mazes for bigger brains, and the signature hedge labyrinth threaded with question stations that turn a wander into a quest. By night, light and shadow sharpen the senses. The organizers love the midnight challenge: enter, drift, find the exit before the clock strikes twelve—if you can.
Stay a little longer
Make a weekend of it. In Ópusztaszer, the Forest Guesthouses combine a Wellness Guesthouse and a Family Guesthouse. Rooms and apartments balance comfort with natural style in a calm setting at the edge of the woods. Hospitality is the point here: a gentle base camp for your maze adventures, open year-round. There’s also a centrally located guesthouse in the village that hosts visitors in well-kept surroundings with free parking, also operating year-round.
Eat like a local
Ópusztaszer’s csárda serves hearty Hungarian soups, kettle-cooked classics, fish dishes, beef and Hungarian Grey beef specialties, Mangalica pork, oven-baked plates, plus solid vegetarian options. The dining room leans warm and family-friendly; take a seat on the terrace among carved wooden furniture if the weather cooperates. A short stroll—about 656 feet—from the entrance of the National Historical Memorial Park sits Szeri Csárda, a lovingly revamped time capsule. Inside, the décor and displayed artifacts channel an authentic outlaw tavern vibe, a slice of living folklore. At the moment, Szeri Csárda welcomes pre-booked groups.
