Motatapu Track - Car Park & Start

(Translated by Google) February 2019 We hiked from the parking lot to Fern Burn Hut and back. Beautiful 5 hour hike. First along the stream, through a birch forest, then over Tussock, up and down to the hut. Recommended for sure-footed hikers.

(Translated by Google) I started at the parking lot along the creek after 2 hours past the first hut and walked to Jack Hall's Saddle and back to the parking lot. With a bit of fitness and sure-footedness, this is a beautiful track. After 7 hours, including breaks in the sun, I was back at the car very satisfied. Has a bit of a smuggler's path :) (Original) Ich bin am Parkplatz gestartet dem Bach entlang nach 2h an der ersten Htte vorbei und bis zum Jack Hall's Saddle gelaufen und wieder zurck zum Parkplatz. Mit etwas Kondition und Trittsicherheit ist das ein wunderschner Track. Ich war nach 7h, inkl. Pausen in der Sonne, sehr zufrieden wieder am Auto. Hat so ein bischen was von einem Schmugglerpfad :)

Amazing trail, somewhat rough though and many hills so only suitable for experienced hikers

(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk (1 hour) in a pasture valley (sheep & cattle) which follows a small stream. The trail passes over private property but is very well marked. The hike is pleasant because it goes off the beaten track and is therefore reasonably crowded. It is divided into a four-part course including three refuges at altitude. The first "Fern Burn Hut" being 3-4 hours away. (Original) Une belle balade (1 heure) dans une valle de pturage (ovins & bovins) qui suit un petit cours d'eau. Le sentier passe sur des proprits prives mais est trs bien trac. La randonne est agrable car elle sort des sentiers battus et subit donc une affluence raisonnable. Elle se dcline sur un parcours en quatre parties comprenant trois refuges en altitude. Le premier "Fern Burn Hut" tant 3-4 heures de marches.
