New Zealand Famous Landmarks

Top 5 Sights in New Zealand

New Zealand is full of places of interest, from volcanos and mountain ranges to underground caverns, which have long lived in fantasy. So here is our summary of the most thrilling and historical attractions New Zealand has to boast. New Zealand's highest structure is the Sky Tower in Auckland, 328m high. Sky Tower houses a variety of outdoor and indoor activity and entertainment, such as the yearly Firefighter Sky Tower Stairway Challenge, and offers the opportunity for spectators to try an indoor and outdoor skydiving event and view the town from 328m.

The rocks that have been lying on the beaches for millennia can be touched and climbed by people. Everybody knows that vulcanic summits encircle the area of Auckland, but One Tree Hill is the most famous of all. It is not known when the explosion took place, but it is thought to have taken place over 20,000 years ago.

As well as being an important symbol, One is also a holy Maori settler monument and has a tumultuous past. Many of the numerous saplings that have lived on the famous mound have been attracting the vandal for hundreds of years. Lastly, in 2000, the remaining individual Kiefer was under attack by campaigners who sought to raise awareness of injustice thought to have been caused to the Maori by the New Zealand state.

One Tree Hill held a planting of nine indigenous Totara and Pohutakawa in 2016, just like the pristine tree species that were standing on the hillside centuries ago. For those who ascend the mound, a picturesque look over the Auckland area will reward them with the obelisk symbol, a monument to the Maori who established the area, below which is the tomb of the political figure Sir John Campbell.

The name Maori correctly means "king of the forest" and is valued at about 2,300 years. At present there are 51 meters in overall altitude and almost 18 meters to the first twig. Tokatoka Peak is only 20 min, but that doesn't mean it isn't one of New Zealand's most fascinating and extraordinary peaks.
