Enchanted Walk

The Enchanted Walk at Cradle Mountain starts from Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge and is one of Tasmania's 50 Great Short Walks. If you haven't tackled some of these, I highly recommend it, although there are a few extras that I would add in there too!

The walk is a very easy short boardwalk that follows a small river, crosses over and then walks back up the other side back to the start. As you walk you are surrounded by tall Pencil Pine trees, the sound of the babbling river and fresh, simple nature. Apparently wombats and platypus' frequent these areas but we didn't spot any. It is a nice simple walk that might be a tranquil start to your day in Cradle Mountain. There are a few 'art tunnels' on the route, i'm sure intended for kids, but we nipped through anyway.

As it goes from Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, if you're staying there, it's a great one to do to let your breakfast go down before you tackle a proper hike.

The Enchanted Walk takes about 20 minutes and you need no real special equipment, but a waterproof might be a good idea.
