Only recommended in perfect conditions. The entire route is perhaps the worst hiking trail I've ever done. Unless you enjoy 12km + 800m of climbing stairs.

Hike to Mount Taranaki.

I would recommend to do this section downhill. and if you do the pouāki circuit: do it clockwise! The steps are never ending. Also the forrest section is long and full of slippery roots. Hiking poles are recommended.

Don’t expect too much: small pond and only if the conditions are right you see reflections. I found this a typical “instagram v.s. reality” spot. 😉 Mt Taranaki is impressive tough and beautiful area for hiking!

Anyone who wants to go up to the hut has to climb about 3,500 steps

Great place to start the e.g the Pouakai Crossing (make sure to book the shuttle in advance) or the summit hike.

Don’t expect to get the perfect picture on the first try. Most of the times the water will cast little waves from the winds or mount Taranaki will be covered by clouds. It is really beautiful though no matter the condition 👍🏼 Just do not expect to get the 10/10 Instagram picture. Enjoy the moment, it’s better either way 😊

When the weather is clear and visibility is good, you can see Mount Taranaki, a 2500m high stratovolcano, through the bridge. However, it is often hidden behind clouds.

Great views in all directions… but don't underestimate the climb… 6 hours (total) from the visitor center… poles are very helpful

Nice cabin. Unfortunately, due to its proximity to Spiegeltarn, it is often fully booked. You can only book them online in advance.

From the visitor center you have a wonderful view of the volcano. From here you can start numerous beautiful tracks.

Everything has to fit for the mirror image. Unfortunately the wind is always quite strong here.

Online bookings required. Hut ticket cannot be used anymore.

Worth seeing pedestrian bridge on a popular jogging path

In the visitor center you can see a model of the mountain with small lights marking the special places.

Really idyllic. You can climb a little over the rocks on the right side to get to the upper pools. DANGER: Partly very smooth and slippery.

The small lake and Mount Taranaki in the background is a dream for every hiker, and especially for photographers.

At the Pouakai Hut you have a great view. You can also spend the night here.

The power plant's generator is the oldest in continuous operation in New Zealand and one of the oldest in the world. It was built by the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York, between 1899 and 1901. In 1935 the power station was installed to supply tourist accommodation in Dawson Falls in Mt. Egmont National Park. The Dawson Falls Tourist Lodge opened in 1896, but because of its remoteness, it was not connected to electricity suppliers. The power plant holds a Pelton wheel, which is driven with water from the Kapuni River through a 635 m long pressure line (pipeline). The Pelton wheel drives a direct current generator, a regulator, a flywheel and a small alternator with a possible output of 74 kW (100 PS).
