Maungawhau, or Mount Eden, is one of the ancestral mountains of Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, at 250 Mount Eden Road in Mount Eden. It is the highest volcano in Auckland, at 196 metres, with a crater about 180 metres across. The site describes the mountain as a former Māori pā, a fortified settlement built for thousands of people, and the crater rim track passes storage pits from that time. The summit road and summit were closed to private motor vehicles in January 2016, and the mountain is part of a tentative UNESCO World Heritage listing. Visitors walk up the mountain on a crater rim boardwalk, which was extended in June 2023, and the view from the summit covers the city, the harbours and the other maunga. The site says the mountain attracts more than one million visitors a year.
