Story

Westland nationalpark är en nationalpark på Sydön i Nya Zeeland som ingår i världsarvsområdet Te Wahipounamu.
Parkens fullständiga officiella namn är Westland Tai Poutini National Park och dess yta omfattar cirka 1 175 kvadratkilometer.
Naturen i parken varierar från kustområden med våtmarker och flodmynningar till tempererade regnskogar, bergsområden och glaciärer. De två största glaciärerna är Fox Glacier och Franz Josef Glacier.
Historisk har området under flera hundra år varit en boplats för maorier och det finns många äldre spår efter denna kultur i parken. Sedan Nya Zeeland upptäcktes av Abel Tasman år 1642 var det europeiska intresset för området länge relativt litet, med undantag för jakt på de pälssälar som fanns längs kusterna. Några större europeiska bosättningar etablerades inte här förrän guld upptäcktes i området under den senare hälften av 1800-talet. Tillgången på guld minskade dock snart, men lämningar från gamla övergivna guldgrävarstäder kan ännu ses i parken.

Address: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand
State: Franz Josef Glacier

So diverse, there is something for everyone here and all done in true West Coast style. I'd love to write more but I am being bitten to death by the sandflies!
Great walk. Shame the river prevents going further but a beautiful scenic walk all the same.
Nice park. Full with hikes and glaciers. The fox glacier hike it's the fun but hard one
Nice national park with beautiful glaciers, misty forest and beautiful lakes
Clean,wet,but warm,4 days south of hari hari fishing,friendly helpful locals.A must visit.
Weather was not the best and the trail direct to the glacier was closed, but it was still beautiful it’s definitely worth a visit.
The glaciers are amazing to see. Pity they are receding. But the walk there was invigorating, great waterfalls on the way. Preferred the view of Franz Josef to Fox glacier.
Good hike to see the fox Glacier.
