Entspannte und schöne Tour

Wir wurden pünktlich vor der i-Site abgeholt und Emily hat uns auf dem Weg zum Lake Hawea ein paar interessante Dinge zur Gegend erzählt. Man fährt den Hawea River Track, der unkompliziert ist und am Ende über eine Hängebrücke führt. Danach geht es auf Teerstraßen oder über einen einfachen Trail am Ufer des Lake Wanaka zurück zum Ausgangspunkt. Die Räder sind Hardtails von Giant. Ganz ok, aber die Schaltung war nicht die neueste.

Wonderful Day

A beautiful track to ride along on an autumn's day. Booking an e-bike was an excellent decision for the 30km ride - it suited my age and fitness level. I completed this on my own as a middle-aged woman and highly recommend it to others. If I felt the track was a little narrow at times and was nervous, I just got off my bike and pushed it along. Go for it! A superb activity.
