2 in Neuseeland
26./28.12.2009 Tongariro National Park
In den zwei Tagen hier im Tongariro Nationalpark sind wir am ersten wie geplant das Crossing gelaufen: 19,4 km, 800 Hm rauf und 1.200 Hm runter. Da wir es gemuetlich haben angehen lassen und ich um die 300 pics gemacht hab dauerte der ganze Spass 8,5 Std. inkl. Pausen. Der Track fuehrt durch einen ocker-gelbfarbenen Krater quer hindurch, am Red Crater vorbei und eine kleine Anhoehe hinauf von wo aus man einen supergenialen Blick auf die Emerald Lakes hat. Drei kleinen tuerkis-blaue Seen inmitten von gelben, ockerfarbenen, braunen und vor allem schwarzem Vulkangestein. Ein toller Anblick!
The view to Mt. Ngauruhoe from our campsite at the NP. With the cloud like James Cook described as he discovered New Zealand --> Land of the long white cloud
After a few kilometers we had to climb up a little bit between the volcanic stones and rocks, but the path was well prepared
That's the path we came up... The starting point was in the middle of the pic right behind the clouds.
The first break between the South and the Red Crater. We had such strong winds up there - they suggested up to 60 km/h and we were lucky to have our good jackets and hats with us.
In the middle you can see a lava field and in the back the big Blue Lake. The weather changed very fast. One second mist the other storm the next sunshine - weard weather!
