Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day by exploring a couple incredible trails that bring you to historically significant spots & a babbling waterfall. Drive time to the second stop is 8 minutes.

This 19th-century town is so charming that you'll definitely want to return. We've recommended our favourite cafes & eateries for you to relax in after your first outdoor adventure. Drive time to the third stop is 10 minutes.

STOP 3

Get your cameras out! This hour-long trail deserves a picture or two and has some seriously eerie vibes! Drive time to the fourth stop is 23 minutes.

End your surprise road trip in a quintessential village. If you want to keep going we've suggested a quiet countryside stop or a place to lace up your skates in the winter.
