Forgotten World Highway

While it's only 150 kilometres long, the Forgotten World Highway is a highly memorable driving journey.

Built on colonial bridle paths formed in the late 19th century, the highway is remote and mysterious to the extreme. "A bit upsy downsy" is how one local resident puts it - a classic New Zealand understatement to describe a road that hugs the rugged contours of the land to provide a natural roller


coaster experience.
