Kepler Track, Te Anau

4.8

#2 of 11 in Trails in Southland Region

Kepler Track allows visitors to trek from the beech-forest shores of lakes Te Anau and Manapouri to the very top of Mt. Luxmore. Traverse rocky mountain ridges, wander through tall mossy forests, and cross deep gorges and fast-flowing rivers on swinging suspension bridges. Explore the region's caves, featuring finger-like stalactites and stalagmites, or take a brisk dip in an icy waterfall. Well-constructed bridges, boardwalks, and steps make for a moderately difficult 60 km (37 mi) walk, usually done in two to four days. Each night, enjoy the comfort of running water and a roof over your head at the trail-side huts. Visit during the optimal season between October and April, and book your hut accommodations in advance.

从蒂阿瑙湖开始到luxmore hut的一日徒步，我们用了8小时，行走35公里。最初的3-4小时攀登是很艰苦的，而且总是在树林里盘旋上升。当看到指示牌显示还有45分钟到达木屋时，有一种终于要成功的感觉。就在我们刚离开落叶林，要欣赏美景时，瓢泼大雨从天而降，所有人都淋成了落汤鸡。好在到达木屋时雨停了。蓝天白云还有阳光下金灿灿的植被，使得一切辛苦都值得。还看到了呆萌的kea。一定要来开普勒！ more »

Luxmore hut of one-day trekking starting from Lake Te Anau, we spent 8 hours, walking 35 km. Initial 3-4-hour climb is very tough, and spiral in the Woods. When you see the sign displayed when you have 45 minutes to reach the cabin, there is a feeling of finally succeeded. We had just left the deciduous forest, to appreciate beauty, rain fell from the sky, everyone got a drowned. Reached the hut the rain stopped. Blue Sky there is glittering under the Sun of vegetation, has made all the hard work worth it. Also saw the sprouting of KEA. Must come to Kepler!
