On New Zealand's South Island, a unique hiking paradise awaits you. Most of the country's national parks are located here, and nearly half of the area is protected. Wild and sometimes gentle coastal strips, vast river valleys, and beautiful lakes set against a majestic mountain backdrop make hiking dreams come true. The book presents 25 trails of varying lengths and difficulties. In addition to well-known routes like those in Abel Tasman National Park, you will also find many lesser-known yet attractive paths on New Zealand's South Island. For each trail, the book provides a detailed description, including a map, elevation profile, and GPS track. Additionally, there is information on trail length, access, and tips for hiking with children.
