Top Attractions Within Katoomba
Blue Mountains National Park offers tourists a one of a kind view of the wilderness. You can take a walk on the forest paths or you can rent a bicycle and ride your way through the wilderness. The park also protects a large variety of unique vegetation. The paths are made in such a way that they are accessible for everybody, even for persons with disabilities.
The Giant Stairway is an astonishing entry to the Jamison Valley, containing more than 800 steps. The interesting part of the Giant Stairway is that the steps are actually naturally eroded, although some work has been done to reinforce part of them. So make an effort, and go down the 800 steps. You will not regret it. The view is worth it.
Katoomba Scenic Railway is the steepest railway in the world. It has even entered the Guinness book of Records. Originally, it was part of the Katoomba City mining tramways, built in the early 20th century. Do not worry, there is a funicular line that comes down through the hard cliffs. The view is magnificent: abundant forests and rain-forests full of fern trees.
