This stone labyrinth near Lulea in Swedish Lapland occupies one of the Gulf of Bothnia's outer islands, where the Baltic's brackish waters meet the boreal forest zone. Part of the densest concentration of labyrinths in northern Sweden, the Lulea archipelago labyrinths follow a consistent pattern: placement on islands with clear sightlines to the open sea and underlying bedrock of Precambrian granite — some of the oldest exposed rock in Europe (1.8-2.5 billion years). At 353.64° Giza bearing, this labyrinth maintains the meridional alignment characteristic of the Lapland labyrinth corridor. The island's ongoing post-glacial rebound (9mm/year) means the labyrinth has risen roughly 4-5 meters since construction.
