Day 3 leads you deep into the Tsitsikamma Mountains. Enjoy a swim at the Bloukrans River crossing. The crossing itself is very easy and there is a rope to guide you.
Be prepared for the short climb out from the crossing. From there it is relatively flat. Enjoy the majestic sweep of the mountains as you walk along the valley. Beautiful fynbos will delight you most of the way.
The trail joins a rough gravel road for the last stretch, which is quite tough on your feet. If you feel up to it, keep an eye on the left of the road for directions to the natural rock pools that resemble jacuzzi’s, called the ‘Twintubs’.
The hut is just a little further along the road.
Tips for Day 3:
- Take a break and swim at the Bloukrans River crossing. After the crossing there is little shade.
- Keep an eye open for the ‘Twintubs’ rock pools - situated before you reach the hut.
