Wilder Trails Kunanyi-Wellington Loop
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Legend! Well done! You are coming to collect your kunanyi-Wellington Loop reward and we hope you had a wildly playful day on the kunanyi trails. Former Tasmanian resident, Jahn Pahwa instigated this kunanyi-Wellington Loop back in 2016. Thanks to Jahn's support and generosity, this 24.5km route was incorporated into our Wilder Trails community project so that people such as yourself could enjoy the mountain challenge. Please proudly show off this badge and tell all your friends, family and trail community to give the kunanyi-Wellington Loop a try. We hope you will enjoy some of our other Wilder Trails soon!
Route Highlights:
- Start & finish in Hobart, taking in the Cascades Female Factory & Cascade Brewery historical sites.
- Visit the beautiful stone Junction Cabin on your way to the Pinnacle of kunanyi.
- Take in breathtaking views of Hobart & SE Tasmania from the Pinnacle, the highest point of kunanyi.
- Then it is all downhill on the way home!
