Mount Cook

"I want to go back to the street. Will sing again, not beautiful, but horny and loud! "
Here I am, four weeks by car camping and hiking ... The New Zealand Road Trip has begun!

The first stop was the Mount Cook National Park and I've probably always eaten good, because there like bad weather did not want to show.
Already the approach over the Lake Tekapo (there is a dog monument, so) and then the Lake Pukaki were great sport: free view of the Mount Cook all the time! The mountain is determined in half of the photos, but he also dominates the scenery very photogenic.

The first way went to the Hooker Valley. About a few swing bridges it goes to the Hooker Lake. Sad, but fascinating to see how broken glaciers ice swim there as icebergs to their death.

The dying of the glaciers was omnipresent on the second, the great migration. It went to the Mueller Hut, one of the most popular huts in New Zealand. Accordingly, it was fully booked until the end of January, otherwise I would have liked to spend the night there and spread the walk over two days.
Always in view the glaciers of the adjacent peaks, of which Mount Sefton is the largest. Almost every minute, and especially well from the Mueller hut, you can watch (and listen, that's really thundering) how avalanches break down and rush down to the valley. (I filmed a small one - not from the beginning - at a much bigger one I was too slow ..)

The campsite is located directly at the feet of this scenery, ideal, if then also dream weather is.
And if you are still there (I in Denmark jersey) is addressed, if you play Ultimate ... From a Dutch U24 national player (he in the Finnish jersey), who is glad to have someone to throw again ... The perfect rounding!
