Good walk. Steep and a thigh burner as expected. Great views at the top with a bench seat and water fountain. Not suitable to drive for big RV or campers. Sedans and smaller campers probably could make it but no where to park up top anyway. Enjoy the exercise and walk it!
It’s basically a steep street. Your mileage may vary depending on whether you’re there to walk it or drive up the road. We took a walk up and it was rather easy with the stairs. It’s still a work out but you’ll get a better appreciation for the street as a whole. Along the way, you’ll see cars driving up the street, dropping people off to take photos and move off after. We saw some cars struggle to make it up the slope and as it was raining prior, their tires skidded when they were near the top. It was an interesting sight to see. At the top, there’s a fountain and a bench to rest while the street gives a nice view of the town from here. Would recommend for a quick cardio climb for fun.
Not a nice place. Just a very steep concrete road to which tourists are lured to the annoyance of local residents. If you want to do a bit of sport, you can race up the 350m long road as fast as you can. However, when you get to the top, you have a good view. When descending, you can easily check whether the knee joints are still in order.
I'm very glad I ticked this experience off my bucket list. This street was pretty cool to walk up and down. The best part of it was the different options to either take the steps or the regular side walk so we did a bit of both. What an incredible free outdoor leg day workout?!
Quirky is characterized by something peculiar, unexpected trait or aspect. This 350-metre stretch of road in Dunedin, New Zealand is recognised by the Guinness World Records as the world's steepest street. Its official maximum gradient is 19 degrees (though there are little bits that are 21 degrees) with the ground rising a metre for every 2.86 metres you cover horizontally. A double entendre is always used in a funny way, and is not meant to hurt or offend anyone. Usually risque that lends itself to more than one interpretation. The people living at Baldwin street must be very fit and healthy which reminds me of a popular Olivia Newton-John song - Physical. "I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like Making good conversation. I gotta handle you just right you know what I mean. I took you to an intimate restaurant Then to a suggestive movie. There's nothing left to talk about less it's horizontally. Let's get physical physical - I wanna get physical let's get into physical Let me hear your body talk your body talk Let me hear your body talk. Let's get physical"
