New Zealand tramping tracks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In New Zealand, long distance walking or hiking for at least one overnight stay is known as tramping. There are a number of walkways in New Zealand, however most of these are relatively short and can be walked in a day or less. Many are also an easy walk, with well formed footpaths. However, some tracks require an overnight stay either because of the rugged country or the length of the track.
Here is a (incomplete) list of the more popular tramping tracks in New Zealand.
