Corn maze or/oder Maislabyrinth

Last week, one of our colleagues send us a print screen of an aerial photo with a strange labyrinth in the fields. She found it while she was editing seamlines and it was something like this:

This is not an unusual thing for Germany, it is just a "Maislabyrinth", a maze cut out of a corn field, and it is a nice way to spend your free time, with your family and a way for the farmers to earn some money. As I could read, they become popular in North America, but they are famous also in England or Germany.

I search some places for the region where I live now, Baden-Württemberg and I want to share them with you, maybe you can visit them in summer. But pay attention: the design captured in the aerial photos will not be the same this year; the farmers are very creative!!
