There was a long queue of eager hikers waiting in their cars. Some did catch a cat nap while others chose to have conversations in the crisp morning air. We have several hikers who are training for the Otter trail coming up in September and in 2024. We chose the Rustig Hiking Trail as this will prepare them.

A short walk and then a climb over a ladder making your way through the forest for the first km. You are approaching the ascent to reach the top of the mountain where you will be faced with the suspension bridge. Thereafter the descent toward the escape route where you can either leave the trail or continue to the 9km and 13km. The 18km starts at a different place.

Our group did the 9km, 13km and our three new hiking friends, completed the 18km.
The cost varies R80-R95 depending on the trail you select. An indemnity form must be completed by each hiker.
The trail is moderate to difficult. A very technical trail.
