米尔福德小道一次很棒的徒步旅行......是我在新西兰渡过的最愉快的四天......
We drove through Fjordland on the way to Milford Sound and frankly this was the highlight of the trip. The scenery is magnificent and each turn brought more oohs and ahhs than you can imagine. We stopped off at Mirror Lake and the Chasm and loved these little side trips. The pictures attached tell the story.
I wasn't lucky with the weather and had a lot of rain and mist so I can't really review the views but the forest was lovely and fairytale like. My only remark is that the doc kinda takes advantage of having the only accomodation, it's pricey for huts....
I spent a good morning studying the information available at the visitors' centre and walking along the side of the lake.
We saw this park in all of it's weather conditions, fabulous in rain and shine.Partner and I did an overnight boat trip on Doubtful Sound with Fiordland Expeditions, fresh fish and crayfish for dinner, and the weather was sunny and the serenity spectacular.Then we did a day trip to Milford with Real Journeys. The rain just bucketed down as soon as we entered the park, and continued all the time we were there. But the wild weather just made it all the more stunning, thousdands of waterfalls cascading down the walls of the Sound, some even being blown back upwards by the fierce winds, truely spectacular sights.A wonderful experience to see both of these Sounds as part of the National Park experience.
The road was winding and pleasant. We were up driving before dawn and there was only light traffic. Use caution and stay in your lane as some sections are quite narrow. Lots of places to stop and take photos -- but there we so many beautiful vistas we wish there were many more!
去峡湾国家公园徒步已经有一段日子了,不过现在想起来还是觉得很美好,即使在徒步途中,超大颗的雨水一直狂砸在我的防水外套上的时候,我的心情也是开心的,当我踏上力士摩山的山顶之后,还开始下雪了!!我们把车存在假假日停车场,然后坐Tracknet巴士去徒步的起点,徒步开始啦!!!开普勒步行道我们走了三天才走完,第一晚上我们住在卢西莫旅馆,一路往上走的时候,在你眼前的是一大段看不到尽头的路,下一个目标是梯安瑙,那里算是峡湾国家公园的大门。往上走去卢西莫的那段路我走得很辛苦,因为当时我身体有点不舒服!!不过当你越往上,你就会看到山毛榉雨林不同的层次,走一段之后,你会看到只会生长在高海拔地区的树,再走一会,你就会看到被草丛和高山植物覆盖的一片比较开阔的地方。之后,我们从住的小屋那里出发,走下去参观石灰岩洞,中间隔得不远,我们还在石灰岩洞里面小小的探险了一番,记住带火把哦!!有的人很聪明,直接坐直升机上到山顶,然后一路往下走,唉,我怎么没想到这点呢,不然我就不用一路辛苦的往上爬了!!第二天我们走的是整段徒步的"高山段",很好玩,卢西莫谷地那一段路有点吓人,不过很好玩,走到谷地下面的时候,我以为我肯定爬不上去了,不过不知怎么搞的,我竟然还是爬上去了。到了顶端之后,云雾刚好也散了,我们看到了超漂亮的风景!!看完风景之后,我们又沿着楼梯一直往下走,去伊瑞思本谷和伊瑞思本旅馆。走了一天的路,我们已经筋疲力尽了,默默的吃晚饭之后,我们马上就上床去睡觉了。第二天早上起得很早,而且精神很饱满,感觉很舒服!!第二天走的路比较轻松,一直沿着蜿蜒的伊瑞思本河走!!天还很早,我们就到了最后一晚上要住的Motorau旅馆,开好房间之后,我们去玛纳普利湖游了个泳。然后我们决定改变一下最后一天的行程,绕路去一座超大的摇摆桥玩!!那座桥真的很酷哦,站在上面看着下面的水晶般透明的河水流过,本来想在河边抓条鱼的,没一会儿就听到Tracknet巴士的汽笛声,然后我就坐车回假日停车场了。徒步完成之后,我们觉得全身都痛,不过心情是非常激动的,我们一起出去吃了顿饭,庆祝我们又变干净了,不过是在脱衣服去洗之后。去桑拿洗了个澡放松了一下之后,我们又拖着疼痛的身体上路了。
一个美丽的国度,风景怡人,严重期待着......在一个空气清新的早晨,漫步在公园的草地上,与爱人、小孩一同呼吸一天最好的空气,大家有说有笑,一起憧憬美好的未来......
峡湾国家公园,魔戒的拍摄地,常年下雨,离开皇后镇时天气一片晴朗,到了峡湾国家公园的入口处,天空已经是一片灰暗,越往里走,雨势越大,两边嶙峋峭壁,挂着无数的瀑布,气势壮观,犹如进入了梦幻世界。
Overnight trip on Doubtful Sound was an absolute highlight of our New Zealand adventure. Good food, lovely staff, comfortable rooms and an experience of nature at its most inspiring.
