Slope Point

Slope Point is an area located in the southern part of New Zealand. Here you can see the wonderful landscapes of the rocky shores by the ocean. But most tourists are attracted here by the local trees, which have a wonderful view. In the calmest weather, they look as if the strongest hurricane is leaning them against the ground. The photos taken by travelers against such a background will certainly become the topic of a wonderful discussion with their friends.

The reason for such an unusual appearance of these plants in Slope Point is, of course, the gusts of winds from the Antarctic side. They do not allow even the strongest trunks to grow smoothly. Over time, the trees have adapted and grow in a curved position.

If you look at Cape Slope Point from a height, you might think that a major hurricane is raging in this area.

There are few people around Cape Slope Point. About 60 people live about seven kilometers from this area. The locals are mainly engaged in farming. The closest settlement to Slope Point is a village called Waikawa, as well as the town of Haldane, which is located along the bay.

Getting to such an unusual attraction is not so easy, because there is not one normal road leading to Slope Point. But if you set yourself the goal of seeing this area with your own eyes, then you will need to cover part of the way on foot. While enjoying the scenic spots, you will not notice how you will find yourself at the curved trees of Cape Slope Point. The entire walking route to this attraction takes only twenty minutes on foot.
