Panorama Route Jonkershoek
Pay an entry fee at the gate of the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve. They do nót take cash. Drive or hike to the White Bridge (about 5km). I recommend driving although the road is bad and bumpy.
Starting at the trailhead at the "White Bridge", if you go clock-wise, you start climbing immediately on a well-maintained singletrack path. Or go anti clockwise up Kurktrekkernek via the waterfalls. It is a steep aproximately 2 km hike to the top. Many people prefer this rather than coming down via the Kurktrekkernek track.
The climb is fairly challenging with loose rocks but offers amazing views of both sides of the valleys with beautiful flowers on the way.
The board says 17 km but it is closer to 14km. Route takes between 5 and 7 hours depending on hiking speed, fitness and amount op breaks if you drive with car to the start of trail. Take enough water (at least two liter) and food for the hike.
