SukkelPoort


Garden Route
4x4 Club in Action


















Sukkelpoort:  Initiated by Garden route 4X4 Club and rated a 3, this trail runs along a narrow kloof for about 5km where it joins another trail going through to the abseil cliff. This portion is about 4 km long. At the abseil cliff you have to turn back and follow the route on top of the mountain range back to the farmhouse. This section is about 9 km long with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The whole route will take you about 2 to 3 hours to complete.







Blouberg trail:  This trail runs for about 3km up the mountains overlooking the Kouga and Tzizikamma ranges. The last part of the trail is fairly steep with climbs up to 45 degrees. The view however compensates for the steep climb. This route will take about one and a half hours to complete.

Kouga river trail:  This trail runs from the farmhouse over the mountain to the Kouga River where you can enjoy the sandbanks and the river.
If you are keen on fishing you can catch bass in the river. This trail is about 7 km long to the river and you can either return with the same route or you can join the main road back to the farm.


Abseil Trail: Runs from the farmhouse till the top of the abseil cliffs. You can see breathtaking scenery along the way, as well as the highest mountain peak in the area, called Smuts Peak.
This trail will take you about 1 and a half hours to complete.
