When thinking of hiking in New Zealand, the impressive landscapes of the South Island usually come to mind first. However, the North Island also has a lot to offer: volcanic areas, wild coastlines, romantic lakes, and pristine forests invite exploration. This book presents 20 trails of varying difficulty and length. In addition to well-known routes like the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, there are also many lesser-known but equally scenic paths on New Zealand's North Island. For each trail, the book provides a detailed description along with a map, elevation profile, and GPS track. A clear information block summarizes details such as trail length, access, etc., and offers tips for hiking with children.
