What is so unique and special about these four routes is the Leopard Route on top of the mountain symbolizes an eagle with outspreading wings, carrying her prey (the protea route) . Connecting the strings, Amphitheatre Route (green) and the Tower Route (yellow), to the escarpment holding the eagle and her prey not to fly away.

A great surprise to all our nature lovers is to introduce you to a newly designed app on Google where you can walk with your phone in your hand, following the route. However, the routes are very clearly marked and available on a map for your convenience.

For the hikers and nature lovers, Sterkspruit Mountain Haven is a must.

For the hikers looking for longer trails, the opportunity to do so is also available.

There are a few waterfall trails – one of 20 km (10 km there and 10 km back) and two of 10 km distances (5 km there and 5 km back).

Drop pins can be collected from the host.

Looking forward too seeing you soon!
