Kleinrivier Mountain Escapes

By Suzanna Pautz - Take A Walk Hiking Club

Kleinrivier Mountain Escapes borders on the Groendal nature reserve and the owners are passionate about nature preservation and creating trails that invite enthusiastic hikers to explore this wilderness.

Lower Gorge Trail routes

The Lower Two Gorges trail is an out and back trail. It is very well marked. Expect a rocky trail with some clambering over large boulders, navigating your way around rocky outcrops, and walking along rocky ledges. As you walk up the kloof, you will be in the shade of trees most of the way with more exposed sections higher up the gorge.

 Kleinrivier offers luxurious overnight accommodation in cabins and a tented riverside camp. The trail leads past these areas in the first kilometer, so the owners ask that you speak quietly if you have to until you are past the accommodation.
You can download the trail map from the Kleinrivier website before your hike.

This trail has almost 200m of elevation. A trekking pole is beneficial. Shoes with good grip like the Vibram outsoles on the Agility Peak 5’s are essential for the rocky sections. Don’t forget your swimming things, a highlight is swimming at Spring Gat waterfall.
