“New Zealand. Trails Without End” From the ocean to high mountains and glaciers

“New Zealand. Trails Without End” is a lecture about selected trails in New Zealand, hiked over two years on two islands. In total, that's hundreds of kilometres of routes: from short walks to multi-day treks, from gentle paths to more demanding mountain expeditions.

Each trail is its own story. Some start by the ocean, others high in the mountains. The presentation will feature:

• beaches and coastal cliffs,
• green hills and lush forests,
• volcanic landscapes,
• lakes, waterfalls and rushing streams,
• the rugged terrain of the Southern Alps: moraines, glaciers within arm's reach and rocky ridges.

Together, these show almost the full range of the country's landscapes. The lecture will answer questions such as: where the sunset was most beautiful, where it was worth staying up all night to see the sunrise, and what mountain huts are like and whether they really resemble our Polish schroniska. Alongside views and trail stories, there will also be practical information for those who would like to set out on New Zealand's trails themselves.
