Roys Peak

Story

Der Roys Peak ist ein Berg im Süden des Lake Wanaka auf der Südinsel Neuseelands. Der Gipfel liegt ungefähr 7 Kilometer westlich von Wanaka.Im Gipfelbereich befinden sich weithin zu sehende Telekommunikationsanlagen. Die vorherrschende Vegetation sind Tussockgräser. Vom Gipfel bietet sich eine umfassende Aussicht über den Lake Wanaka und die Gipfel des Mount-Aspiring-Nationalparks.Der Name des Berges geht möglicherweise auf den schottischen Volkshelden Rob Roy zurück, vieles in der Gegend ist nach ihm benannt, denn die Region Otago hat eine ausgeprägte schottische Vergangenheit.Lage und UmgebungRoys Peak bildet den nördlichen Endpunkt eines Kamms, der das Tal des Montatapu River vom Lake Wanaka und dem Tal des Cardrona Rivers trennt. Einen Kilometer weiter südlich befindet sich der Mount Alpha, der nächste Gipfel dieses Kamms.Flora und FaunaDie oberen Hänge des Roys Peak sind steil und für 3 bis 4 Monate im Jahr schneebedeckt. Die Vegetation ist hier vergleichsweise ursprünglich. An den Nordwesthängen dominieren Tussock-Gräser und es gibt eine dichte Streuschicht. Zwischen den Tussock-Gräsern findet sich als größere Pflanze hauptsächlich der Korbblütler Celmisia lyallii. Der am häufigsten anzutreffende Busch ist Dracophyllum pronum. Unterhalb von 1000 Meter ist die ursprüngliche Tussock-, Busch- und Waldvegetation weitgehend verschwunden und gedüngtem Weideland gewichen. Es gibt sehr viel anstehendes Gestein im Bereich des Gipfels, das aber starke Anzeichen von Frostverwitterung zeigt.

True summit of the mountain. Half an hour more to walk from the viewpoint.
Great experience. People with knee problems should wear an elastic knee brace on the way down
Big climb, awesome views. Take plenty of water
Must go place. The views are nice. Be sure the walk is not easy as listed in terms of endurance. But if you enjoy trekking you won't miss it.
Absolutely memorable. Stunning views. Incredible scenery. A must to do hiking.
Awesome track. Amazing view. Exhausted now but totally worth it.
Amazing views, but bit difficult walk with no chance for shade.
Beautiful but exhausting hike! It took us 6h return!
Don't know who Roy is, but his peak is pretty impressive. Super easy walk highly recommended
