Cradle Mountain National Park

Because of its natural beauty, the Cradle Mountain National Park is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tasmania. Invigorating mountain air, spectacular scenery, an iconic visit. Listed as a World Heritage Area by the United Nations to protect its unique pristine wilderness, its global significance is for all to see and experience. The viewing point for Cradle Mountain is from Dove Lake, and while you are there you have three hiking options. You may choose to walk around Dove Lake which takes approximately two and a half hours at a brisk pace, suitable for medium level of fitness. For those with good - high level of fitness, then Marions Lookout is a difficult uphill walk, but the views are spectacular - well worth the effort (weather permitting). And if you have a lower level of fitness, then there are a multitude of short walk options in the area, along with a short walk along Dove Lake there is Waldheim Chalet, Weindorfer's Forest, perhaps Enchanted Walk and Pencil Pine Falls.
