A circular 20 km mountain trail on a guest farm off the R318 Nougaspoort road, the last 12 km on gravel. It starts at the main house, crosses renosterveld and climbs with some low-range sections to a summit of about 1,400 m, where a shelter has seating, a fireplace and room to park 25 vehicles. The way down includes two very steep rocky declines, and nervous passengers can take an alternative route. An optional 4-rated branch heads north to a steep gullied descent.

Along the way

  • 1,400 m summit shelter
  • Two steep rock-step descents
  • Optional harder branch
  • Guest farm accommodation
