Itinerary description

A challenging hike that includes several river crossings, 2 extremely steep ascents that require some scrambling and basic climbing and one very steep & sliding descent at the end.
The terrain is very rocky and slippery - even when dry!
The path is marked in places, however it is easy to take a wrong turn here as there are many alternative pathsand animal tracks that are unmarked - take care when following the trail.
A very interesting walk that includes varying scenery and also goes past the Lerderderg River Weir.
