Itinerary description
The Florence Hill Hut has replaced the Coetzeestroom Hut on this brand new section of the trail. The trail starts at the Kaapschehoop Hut, follows all along the escarpment to Florence Hill and includes magnificent views of the De Kaap valley, lush indigenous forests, gorges, pine-scented plantations, streams and interesting structures from the De Kaap goldfields that are of historical interest. From the Florence Hill Hideaway, you have the option to either return to the Kaapschehoop Hut or to continue to the Barretts Coaches on the previous Coetzeestroom route.

Just did this hike again this weekend. Rather dry, waiting for the first real rains of 2014 summer. Still remains a beautiful outing!
