Tongariro Alpine Crossing

I done the Tongarior Alpine crossing, a walk from about 20 km with some guys I met in the hostel and it was just awsome. The walk is betwen the Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe. They are both aktive Vulcanes and you also can climb on Mount Ngauruhoe. Its the Mountain, wich was used for the "Schicksalsberg" in Lord of the rings.

You can see the landscape is changeing very often and the hole way is really mystical.

This is how the way looks maybe the first km.

Thats the view from the top of  Ngauruhoe. It takes about two hours to climb on this Mountain.

Thats also on the top of Mount Ngauruhoe.

It was sad, there were a little bit to many clouds, but many people told me there are nearly every time clouds.

That picture was made after about two hours of walking, nearly everywhere you can smell the sulfur...

That is Mount Ngauruhoe. Its really cold and windy on the top, cause its about 2250 meters high.

In the begining of the day its a bit more quite

Here you maybe can see a little bit how windy it was...

For this three, small lakes Tongariro Alpine Crossing is famous...

An other beutiful lake...

An other beutiful mountain... ;-)

In the end, the landscape gets much greener.

Nearly finished, in the end I was realy tired...
