Business Type: Baldwin Street

Overview

Baldwin Street. Give your calf muscles the ultimate workout by trekking up the World’s Steepest Street, just minutes from the centre of town.

Address: Baldwin Street, Dunedin. Dunedin & Otago

Description

Rated by The Guinness Book of Records as the steepest in the world, this is not your ordinary suburban street, and it’s not recommended you try and drive it.

So park your car, and tackle some 270 steps, or the path opposite.

As you huff and puff, spare a thought for those who run it each year in the aptly named ‘Gut Buster’ event. Along with a conquerors feeling of accomplishment, there’s also a great view from the top.

Locations

Location: North East Valley, Dunedin.
