Hedge maze Altjeßnitz, Baroque hedge maze in Raguhn-Jeßnitz, Germany.

The hedge maze at Altjeßnitz is a baroque labyrinth set within a park landscape, bordered by hornbeam hedges roughly two meters tall. The winding paths form a system that spreads across the former estate grounds.

Leopold Nicolas Freiherr von Ende commissioned the maze in the mid-18th century; sources disagree on the exact date. The original design appears in the garden ordinance of the Thuringian pastor Johann Peschel. The castle, built in 1699, burned in 1946 and was demolished from April 1975, with parts rebuilt in altered form. The maze was last restored in 2005.

The maze's layout follows the design recorded in the garden ordinance of the Thuringian pastor Johann Peschel. Its single entrance and exit is guarded by a statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fodder plants, and a wooden viewing platform stands at the centre.

There is a single entrance, which also serves as the exit, marked by a statue of Ceres. A wooden viewing platform in the centre gives an overview of the whole layout. The shortest route to the centre is about 400 m, but the paths total 1230 m and offer around 250 ways to reach the goal.

The maze's layout has no dead ends at all, yet about 250 different routes lead to the centre; the shortest is roughly 400 m while all paths together measure 1,230 m. Its original design appears in the garden ordinance of the Thuringian pastor Johann Peschel.
