Giving you an option to ride or hike out of Nornalup, this trail winds like a labyrinth through the trees as it takes you steadily up the hill.  You'll traverse from the western bank of Kwakoorillup Beela (Frankland River) to the top of the hill and the Giant Tingle Tree.

At the top of the Labyrinth, riders can take Robin's Hood downhill towards Walpole and can return to Nornalup via the Munda Biddi Trail.

Hikers, you can head back to Nornalup via the Labyrinth. If you want to make a day of it - follow the Bibbulmun Track west towards Walpole before switching onto the Munda Biddi Trail and following it back to Nornalup. This section of the Munda Biddi Trail is dual use. 

Labyrinth is a dual use trail. It's dual direction for walkers but a single direction climb for riders (although riders can go down the section of trail downhill of Monastery Road to the river).  It starts from the western bank of the Frankland River. If you are accessing this trail from Nornalup, you will need to cross the river on the South Coast Highway bridge. Be aware of traffic.
