Lower Blindekloof
Uitenhage
By Suzanna Pautz - Take a Walk
A hot summer's day was the perfect weather to explore the pools along the Lower Blindekloof trail in Groendal Nature Reserve. A large group of 32 eager adventurers joined the 12km hike just outside of Uitenhage.
Lower Blindekloof is an out and back trail consisting of forest trail, jeep track and boulder strewn river bed. The route takes you uphill to the Monument, then a steep descent into the kloof and then it’s pretty flat walking upstream to the last pool. You are hiking under forest cover most of the time.
This trail has almost 300m of elevation. A trekking pole is beneficial. You will cross the Blindekloof stream multiple times. Footwear with good grip are essential for slippery rocks and large boulders. On a hot summer day Merrell trail runners will dry very quickly.
