パパロア山脈周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ16

In Paparoa National Park, with its lush flora, are the famous Pancake Rocks near Punakaiki; the superimposed layers of rock resemble a giant mountain of pancakes. Here, the ocean crashes against the rocks with full force; spectacular jets of water shoot up through so-called "blowholes" depending on the tides – simply breathtaking. ☺️

Unique view of the main Alpine chain and the wide valley of the Grey River

Brunner was a mining settlement on the South Island of New Zealand. Brunner was founded in the 19th century as the mining settlement of Brunnerton after Thomas Brunner found a coal seam on the north bank of the Grey River/Māwheranui on January 26, 1848. Actual coal mining did not begin until the 1860s, when around 40 tons of coal were shipped to Nelson. Brunner became internationally known through the great disaster of 1896, when 65 miners were killed in a firedamp explosion in the Brunner mine. Brunner was monostructurally focused on hard coal mining and only existed because of the Brunner mine. The mine was closed in 1906, but coal was mined in other mines in the area until 1968.

The Pancake Rocks in Punakaiki can be seen in all their facets on a great circular route.

From here, a leisurely 20-minute walk to a viewing point. It can be extended for a hike, for example. b. to the suspension bridge.

Beautiful circular route over the Pancake Rocks with great insights into deep rock openings and crevices that are washed through by water.

The first part to the Swing Bridge can be easily walked even in bad weather. The paths are paved and the route has a beautiful natural roof almost throughout

Beautiful rock formation, with a short walk from the parking lot.
