Platberg Hike
Sun Aug 1, 09:00 - Sun Aug 1, 13:00
The Village Hub
ABOUT
We do a circular hike to Platberg summit overlooking Scarborough at the Baskloof Fynbos Private Nature Reserve where the fynbos and views are gorgeous! This is a relatively short hike, but there are some steep ups and downs over rugged terrain. The pace will be leisurely, botanical discussions had and a lovely coffee stop enjoyed at the top!
For the moderately fit hiker keen on a wonderful half-day hike through gorgeous winter fynbos.
