Kepler Track




The Kepler Track is a 3-4 day, 68km round track starting at Lake Te Anau. The huts on the track are pure luxury and the track itsel is in excellent condition avoiding any steep climbs (may I say suitable for wheelchairs?). Although officially rated as medium the track is in good weather definitely easy and can be walked by fit trampers in 2 days. The crossing on the ridge below Mt.Luxmore (1471m) is however a little bit tough in bad weather. For the ambitious people note that there is also a Keppler Track run and the fastest participants take less than 5 hours for this 4 day track.

Unfortunately I took mainly slides on this track, so pictures of some of the best parts, as for example the Hanging Valley and Lake Manapouri, are missing.

Lake Te Anau

Brod Bay on Lake Te Anau is a perfect spot for a late breakfast.

Hollyford Valley

The Luxmore caves, close to the Luxmore hut, have plenty of narrow arms and people are said to have been lost in them. You also might come across a big (harmless) cave spider here!
