Hartz Mountains National Park

Reviewed By Gill808 - Tasmania, Australia

Hartz is a great option for those who aren't looking for total wilderness but who are finding other popular walks such as Cradle Mountain and Freycinet becoming too popular and 'commercial.' The track to Hartz Peak is well established with boardwalks for much of the way and excellent 'rest' facilities (not toilets) at spots such as Lake Esperance nestled beneath the Devils Backbone. Warnings about weather preparedness should be well heeded. On our last visit we ventured only as far as Ladies Tarn due to weather before the track kicks up to the saddle and peak. There should also be a warning about the gravel road up to Hartz as from the time we left the bitumen which heads to Tarhune Airwalk we found suspension breaking pot-holes were appalling. Its a great walk to enjoy semi-alpine nature though with beautiful tarns, mosses, cushion plants, etc.

Franklin River Nature Trail

Reviewed By T2848CZchristineb

What a treasure. You could push a stroller or wheelchair with ease. Beautiful wide track, not one stair. Length was noted as between 25 - 45 minutes, it depends on how long you spend staring in wonder at the nature. Really loved this area. Beautiful place for a picnic, tables available. I'd love this walk at my back door it would encourage me to do it daily.
