Hirschs Maislabyrinth in Oettersdorf, near Schleiz in the Saale-Orla-Kreis, Thüringen, is a roughly 30,000 sqm corn maze with a new theme each year, run by local families and clubs who also sell refreshments and pre-order Christmas geese. The operator's own website has not been updated since around 2019–2020, so current operating status for 2026 is unconfirmed.
