A pair of German farmers have fashioned their own unique tribute to the country’s World Cup-winning team by carving a football-themed maze into one of their fields.
Ulli and Corinne Ernst have converted some of their land in Utting, Bavaria to toast Joachim Low and his squad following their triumph in Brazil this summer.
The maze – which depicts a player performing an overhead kick in front of the Brazilian flag and includes the flags for the top three teams in the tournament of Germany, Argentina and the Netherlands – is 18,000 square metres in size.
The Ernsts and their team of helpers began sowing the field in April, using hemp, corn, rapeseed, sunflowers and common mallow.
Visitors will be able to revel in getting lost in the labyrinth until late September.
Germany stormed to victory this summer, beating Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final to win their first World Cup in 24 years and become the first European team to lift the trophy on South American soil.
