Abstract - The Labyrinth, not a barrier but instead a call to wandering
This paper examines the traditional understanding of a labyrinth as something impassable, impenetrable, characterised by fear of entrance. On the basis of a work by John Amos Comenius (17th century) The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart I would instead like to view it as a labyrinth which in contrast invites us to learn about it, to explore it, to wander. If the main modern way of getting to know the world is through tourism which does not make it possible to essentially experience and understand the place visited or perhaps only hastily, an alternative perception of the way can be offered involving the sense of the place and this in the conception of wandering, without, however, any religious background.
