Itinerary description

The first section of the trail is through plantation that leads you all the way around a gorge to a picnic table with a spectacular view back to Florence Hill. After a steep up and downhill you reach the Kaapschehoop / Barretts Coach split at the magasines. Reaching the split you stay on the side of a gorge with spectacular view over the Coetzeestroom gorge. Sappi Ngodwana paper mill can be seen from here and is the largest paper mill in the southern hemisphere. Once you crossed the tar road you descent into Battery Creek.
