A 12-wall double-angle classical labyrinth on the shoreline near summer cottages at Nisseviken, demonstrating the enduring connection between Baltic labyrinths and coastal sites. Scandinavian fishing communities traditionally walked labyrinths before setting out to sea, believing the winding path would trap malevolent winds and spirits. Nisseviken's position on Gotland's northeastern coast at 57.68°N places it within the dense cluster of labyrinths that make Gotland the world's highest-concentration labyrinth island. Giza bearing 346.32°.
