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.

Wanaka bike riding

We met Mike on time. He provided us with nice advices during our car ride to Hawea. Bike are really good. We took regular bikes but some people took ebikes and they look new as well. Took us about 4h with nice coffee stop at Pattiseire. Really nice ride, would recommend for everyone. Most of path is off-road but is really easy to ride.
