Groot Winterhoek
The beautiful Groot Winterhoek is known for its rugged, wild landscape & "Rock formations.
Die Hel is nestled in the Groot Winterhoek mountains which is one of the largest rock pools in the Western Cape, a secluded piece of paradise.
Hiking to the peak is tough but absolutely incredible. Best to plan to sleep over somewhere on the route (Wilderness permit). It so beautiful and very little people will manage to reach the peak and come down in one day.
Haarkapper Hiking Trail
The Haarkapper Hiking Trail offers you a chance to walk in the footsteps of the famous Tesselaarsdal Barber crossing the Klein River Mountains between Phillipskop near Stanford and Tesselaarsdal. The route can be walked starting from either side and can be done as a figure of eight starting and finishing at the same point, or just one way if you have transport arranged on the other side.
Jannie Willemse was a farmer from Tesselaarsdal who used to walk 20km over the Klein River Mountains to Stanford every Saturday, to cut the townsfolk’s hair, before returning to his Tesselaarsdal farm the same day. He did this each and every Saturday for over 20 years without fail, clocking up more than 42,000km on foot, faithfully serving his Stanford custom on foot – more than the distance all the way around the earth!
