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!

One place at the Octagon worth visiting is the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.

This is the summit on the Crown Range Road. It’s the highest main road in New Zealand and reaches an altitude of 1121 metres. In the winter it can become covered in snow.

A pass! Unfortunately there is a lot of traffic between the two tourist towns of Wanaka and Queenstown, but still very beautiful

This tree is a bit of a celebrity... I don't understand the hype about it

A very popular destination for this tree in Wanaka Lake.

It's nice to look at this selection of bras

This strange attraction in Cardrona, which no one seems to know exactly how it came about, now serves a good cause: donations are collected here for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Association.

A few bras that were hanging on a fence in Cardrona in 1999 have now become a tourist highlight in Cardrona.

Free to enter and worth a wander around.

Not far from here is an archer sculpture on top of a hill!

In clockwise direction there are some punchy climbs with "The Wall" a proper horse category climb, anti-clockwise it is a bit easier but still a lengthy climb from Dunedin to the Kennels. Whatever way you go there are excellent views along the road. Moderate fitness required.

Beautiful road right next to the water, nice and flat ride out to Aramoana!

Bike shop next door if you have any mechanical issues

The Crack-WillowTree even has its own website! We found the hype around the rather measly tree somewhat overdrawn.

Clichè spot on the shore of Wanaka Lake, many tourists taking pics of the lone tree that grows 20 metres from the shore. with the snow on the mountains behind the lake or at sundown photos are gonna be great.

Funny fence full of bras. Originally started as a joke in 1998, now probably the most photographed spot of the area. Now it's also seen as an awarness site for Brest Cancer by the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.
