New Zealand
New Zealand consists of the large North and South Islands, a medium-sized island and several small islands. On the North Island, which has the highest population density, you will find many historical sights, picturesque island landscapes, geothermally active areas and volcanic landscapes. Wellington, the capital, is also located on the North Island. The South Island, on the other hand, is ideal for sporting activities, with many fjords and mountains. The Westland National Park contains New Zealand's famous glaciers. The South Island was the birthplace of bungee jumping. New Zealand is therefore particularly popular with backpackers and adventure travelers.
