Our hike to the peak of Hartz Mountain

It’s an incredible walk through stunning moorland and wet forest. There is an unbeatable view towards the mountains in the south west and also back towards the Huon River and the ocean. My favourite walk so far. Much of the early section is boardwalk and formed track, then you do a very steep climb to Hartz Pass before a boulder scramble to the peak. We were also blessed with amazing weather.

We stayed with our friends Connie and Paul in their 100+ year old home in Geeveston. I fell in love with their backward filled with fruit trees, vege gardens and a super old eucalypt in the back corner. All that was missing were some chooks!
