Tramping in New Zealand




This webpage gives an overview of some of my favourite tracks in New Zealand, The first table displays multi-day walks, mostly in the South Island. The second table lists day walks, mostly in and around Auckland. I have done many more tracks, but either didn't make photos or didn't have time yet to put them online. New tracks will be added as soon as possible. Enjoy!!
The displayed links give you a short description of the track and show some nice photographs.
