Hartz
Mountains
National
Park
Covering
an area
of approximately 8470ha, full
of rugged
highlands,
Hartz
Mountain
National
Park
is the
closest
world
heritage
area
to an
Australian
capital
city.
The
park
is covered
with
alpine
heathland
dissected
by wild
rivers
and
dotted
with
pretty
lakes
whose
origins
go back
to the
glaciers.
Mt Hartz's
dolerite
peak
(1254m)
dominates
the
landscape
and
along
with
other
peaks is snow
covered
most
of the
year.
The
park
is popular
with
snow
lovers
and
is beautiful
in spring
when
the
bright
red
waratah
blooms.
There
are
several
good
bushwalking
tracks
which
lead
to Mt
Picton
and
Federation
Peak.
