Last time, we left off discussing the theme of movies I loved when I was a kid (and still do) like The Princess Bride. That theme continues here with Labyrinth.
Chances are if you loved The Princess Bride, you also loved Labyrinth. And probably Willow and The Dark Crystal.
I had already had some pretty dorky moments on my trip around the world (see: Rome), so you can imagine my reaction to finding out there is a legitimate historical labyrinth under Castle Hill in Budapest.
The Labirintus, an underground network of caves, in Hungary has been used as a refuge for prehistoric hunters, wine cellar, torture chamber, jail, treasury, military hospital, and more. There are many secrets hiding in this labyrinth in chambers unmarked on the official map, including a secret fountain.
Let me explain.
No, there is too much.
Let me sum up.*
It’s a secret wine fountain and I found it!
*Bonus points if you recognized this Inigo Montoya reference from The Princess Bride.
