Itinerary description

This trail is technical underfoot and is not for novices. Taking in the remoteness of the Gifberg, this trail provides the avid trail runner a true adventure and worthwhile day out on the mountain! The trail starts and finishes at the gate in front of the coffee shop.

The trail is marked with varying white, blue and pink footprints. Enjoy the rock art paintings, way pointed. DO NOT TOUCH THE PAINTINGS!

Access for the trail is free for visitors staying at the farm, and there is a fee if visiting the farm as a day visitor. Take plenty of water and food, as well as a hat and sunscreen with you.
