Hikes around Vienna and Auckland

Although almost antipodal and very different in location and mood in many respects, Auckland and Vienna have one important thing in common: most beautiful lush woods in their outskirts. Here are a couple of hiking trails both in the Vienna Woods as well as in the Waitakere Ranges. Enjoy! (Soon to come: Auckland's coast-to-cost walk and Vienna's inner city stroll. If you like to hear more about them, push me to write them up!)
