Mangawhero Falls and Gollum’s Pool in Tongariro National Park are two must-see natural wonders that are sure to take your breath away. Located just 16 km up Ohakune Mountain Road, the walk is only 5-10 minutes each way, making it a great way to get out and explore the beauty of New Zealand's Central North Island region. Enjoy excellent views of the Mangawhero Falls cascading down the rocky hillside amidst the stunted beech forest while you admire impressive ice formations during the winter months.

I visited this incredible location in winter on a misty day which created so much atmosphere to the image. Take your wide angle lens with you for this one.
