Be prepared for a big uphill! This is very steep but worth the view! Make sure you stop and enjoy a look around when you reach the peak.
This is probably the most scenic day so far. After you descend from the peak you will enter a beautiful forest walk. Keep an eye open for elephant dung!
There is one last uphill before the Diepwalle Hut, but the hut is worth it with electricity and hot water showers.
A wonderful museum nearby will keep you occupied the entire afternoon!
There is an electrical power point in the hut so you can charge your devices.
Tips for Day 6:
- Spend some time at the peak of the trail enjoying the view - it really is one of the best views of the entire trail.
- Make sure you check out the museum. Well worth the visit as it tells the story of the old woodcutters.
- You can also watch a DVD on the elusive Knysna Forest elephants.
