オタゴ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

ダニーデンから南へ7km、サザン・シーニック・ルート沿いにあるトンネルを抜けると、小さなビーチがあります。

Well, it's quite nice, but it's strange that crowds of people "pilgrimage" to this tree as if it were sacred... 🤔 But since it's mentioned in every guidebook, I suppose it must be true...

Walk to Tunnel Beach.

The lighthouse and the rocks below it in one picture, a perfect subject.

Look at all that nature has created.

The climb to Crown Range Pass near Queenstown is a highlight for any cyclist! 😊 Coming from the north, the ascent begins just before the town of Cardrona. The road winds gently through the landscape, past green meadows and small lakes. The higher you climb, the steeper the road becomes. The last 5 kilometers are a real test of endurance – the gradient is around 10-12%! 🚴‍♂️ But the view is worth it: The Remarkables mountain range rises majestically into the sky, and you can see all the way to Lake Whaika. The pass itself is at an altitude of 1,076 meters and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. From here, you can look down to Queenstown and Lake Whaika. There are also several rest areas and viewpoints where you can catch your breath and enjoy the scenery. The descent is pure fun! The road is winding and leads through breathtaking scenery. You can really let loose and enjoy the speed! 😄 Overall, the Crown Range is one of the most beautiful and challenging cycling routes in New Zealand. If you're fit and want to enjoy the views, it's a must! 👍

A little miracle

Is it really worth a detour? If you're already in Wanaka, you can check out the tree. Unfortunately, due to the hype, the crowds are sometimes too large. Otherwise, you have a tree in the lake in front of a spectacular backdrop!
