Adventure Shop Sossyskloof Guided Hike

This hike takes place within an ancient rock fault within the Jonkershoek valley, and in a relatively short distance it showcases the variety of forms of the indigenous flora as well as the geology of the area very well. It is a circular trail which takes you initially through a stand of protea trees, and then winds its way up a rock strewn slope. The path then levels off onto a flat contour section which offers lovely views over the Jonkershoek valley. At times, you will pass through some small pockets of indigenous forest with various types of trees that may well as much as 250 to 300 years old. One of these shady areas will make the ideal spot to stop for lunch. After this section, the zig – zagging descent starts with the impressive cliff face rising up out of the fault line forming an imposing backdrop to the scenery. This descent will take you all the way back to the starting point. With such floral variety in the area, there is a good chance of seeing plants in flower at any time of the year that you do this hike.
