German Hill in Arrowtown

Start: Start from the car park towards Chinese Village, Arrowtown.

(S/E) Take the small footbridge across the stream. Once on the other side, turn left onto the wide path.

(1) Pass a kind of pipeline, and continue on the wide path, which goes up along the riverside.

(2) Take the footbridge, then keep right on the upward path. At the next Y-junction, take the narrow path to the left, less obvious than the one that continues straight ahead (the two paths meet higher up). Continue on this little path, which makes a few sharp bends to gain altitude. Return to the path left below.

(3) Continue uphill until you reach a kind of pass. Turn right to reach the top of German Hill.

(4) "Enjoy the view", then retrace your steps towards the pass. Shortly before the pass, turn right and the path descends to reach a small stream.

(5) Pass the first ford and continue downhill along this stream, passing from one side to the other via small fords. The path then veers away from the stream and the descent becomes steeper. Enjoy a small viewpoint before reaching Arrow River and returning to a wide path running alongside the river.

(6) Turn right down the riverside. This path overhangs a track before joining it. Follow it back to the car park and start (S/E).

Start: Start from the car park towards Chinese Village, Arrowtown.

Facilities: Toilets are available at the start.
