New Zealand – The Kauri giant trees

Not far away from Omapere we hiked (ehm, walked) some Kauri forest paths to see some giant trees. There are not many Kauri Giant Trees left, but those that are still there – in between all those normal trees – are really impressive! Kauris measure up to 60 metres in height. Their diametre can measure up to 6 metres! The paths to see the Kauris were pretty short (it took us about 30 minutes) and even wheelchair accessible (neither steps nor uneven surfaces). Nice.
