Мостищенский лабиринт, Archaeological site near Mostishche village, Voronezh Oblast, Russia.
The stone labyrinth consists of six elliptical rings made from chalk stones, measuring 34 by 24 meters on a flat plateau.
Archaeological expeditions in 1984-1987 discovered this structure within a Scythian settlement dating back to the 5th-4th centuries BCE.
Scientists suggest the labyrinth served as an ancient observatory, with granite stones marking specific astronomical directions for solstices and equinoxes.
The site is located 18 kilometers from Ostrogozhsk city and requires an 8-kilometer walk from the Ostrogozhsk-Korotoyak bus route.
This labyrinth represents the only discovered structure of its kind in central Russia, featuring rare granite boulders among local chalk stones.
