A complete guide to visit the incredible trowutta sheet in the Tarkine Regenwald in Tasmania. How to come here, what awaits you and inspiring photos of the green algae -covered cenote and the mystical sheet.

Believe me when you visit the Wildwest Coast of Tasmania, you should add the Trowutta Arch Walk to your list of activities. This incredible short hike offers one of the picturesque experiences of the moderate rainforest, which you will find in the region. The Trowutta Arch is also one of the best accessible and one of the 60 Great Short Walks Tasmania. In the end you will find a number of beautiful green cenotes (Senklöcher), which are perfectly framed by a high arc, the remains of an old cave.

In this blog post, I will inform you about everything you need to know to get to Trowutta Arch Track in the Tarkine region in Tasmania. I visited this beautiful place on a rainy day, but to be honest, I was still thrilled with the pictures I took!

Where is the Trowutta-Bogen?

The Trowutta Arch is located in the Trowutta Caves State Reserve near the city of the same name and in the Tarkine Rainforest. Visitors find the starting point for the short walk to the bow directly on the Tayatea Road, which is a section of the famous "Tarkine Drive".

How do I get here

Trowutta Arch can best be reached on a car ride and as part of the "Tarkine Drive". There is no public transport to this remote part of the Tarkine.

If you have the luxury of your own transport in Tasmania, you should make your way to the Townsip Trowutta and then follow the signs on the Tayatea Road. From here you drive a short distance and look for an unpaved road on the right side called "Reynalds Road". Follow this street and the signs to the Trowutta Arch before reaching the special pedestrian parking lot.

The Reynalds Road is not paved, but quite well graduated and we got along with our large motorhome without any problems.

If you don't have a car, don't be annoyed. There are still many epic adventures to be experienced on Tasmania's west coast. Below I listed three of my handpicked must-dos in the region and the top-rated Tassie tour from Hobart.

The Trowutta Arch hike begins with the entering of the dense moderate rainforest next to an obvious sign. This hike is very simple and follows a wide, clear path with little or no height difference. On the way you experience the incredible beauty of The Tarkine, a true global treasure. Huge fern trees and mushroom trunks dominate the undergrowth, with high -towering eucalyptus trees on all sides.

After only 500 meters you can reach the Trowutta arch.

About the Trowutta Arch im Tarkine

How I may be wondering how this interesting geological phenomenon was created.

The arch is the remnant of a collapsed cave, one of many in the region. In fact, you will find several caves in the Thist State Reserve, even a few small ones right next to the sheet.

The green pool next to the bow is known as a cenote or doline, which was filled with water. The green color comes from the algae that live on the stagnant surface. There are many dolins like this in Tasmania, including Duckhole Lake and many in the karst systems near Hastings Caves in the far south of Tassie.

The doline right behind the bow is very accessible and in my opinion the most picturesque. However, you can walk around right on an unofficial path to get some unique perspectives and also look at the other.
