Rockhopper Trail

Route Description:

This linear trail in Bainskloof is moderate to difficult, depending on your level of fitness. The strenuous sections involve rock hopping, swimming and lots of adventure. Find your own way down the boulder-strewn riverbed surrounded by riverine bush. 

Although most of the water obstacles can be side-stepped, there's no getting around a pool near Tweede Tol which you will have to wade through.  But for maximum fun, waterproof your pack, wear kloofing shoes and simply walk or swim through every pool! 

The trail starts at Eerste Tol in the Bainskloof Pass and follows the Witte River to the finish at the Tweede Tol picnic site. Because it is a linear trail, you will need a vehicle at the start and another at the finish. 

The route is not open when the river is too high. Hazards include volatile weather, flooding rivers after rain, slippery rocks, wind and ticks!
