Oh, I am absolutely sure that it will be great fun! The advantage compared to our gigantomaniac Munich labyrinth is that this one doesn't need so much organising in advance (when and where to meet whom, how get another bicycle, where to leave aforementioned bicycle locked with a combination lock so that our latecomer will have a chance of joining us as well, which alternate route to choose in case a known building site might block some streets etc.).

I hope that starting right at the feet of Nuremberg Castle will give some extra symbolical strength to the labyrinth. Besides, I intend to visit Germanisches Nationalmuseum, which currently offers and exhibition on early modern book culture. Since Nuremberg was a centre of the humanist movement, maybe one of those venerable scholars discovered traces of the lost sport in the ancient texts he was studying ...

And then there's another exhibition about a famous "gaming tapestry" as well!

Centering the labyrinth around a historical monument of importance is always a good idea, as the chances for the same or similar monument to have been built on the other Earths are relatively decent. Therefore starting at the castle is a very nifty plan.

What is this knot's potential strength ?

All the more fitting because I really didn't know these two cities until today. If you ever have the chance to visit Nuremberg - don't miss it. Gorgeous, gorgous city. Ingolstadt is nice as well, but plays in a somewhat lower league, if you ask me. Wink

I've added comments to all my omphalabyrinth photos now, to help you spot the signs. I don't now how we could overlook the multiversal significance of these two cities for such a shockingly long time. I guess the only reason why they weren't on James's lists was that they were so top secret that only the highest-ranking members of Theo were informed about them.
