Fernkloof Nature Reserve Hike With Paula.

Tags: , ,
High up in the mountains of the Fernkloof Nature Reserve In Hermanus. I stopped to take this panorama shot during our hike.
Map of Hikes in The Fernkloof Nature Reserve.

We climbed the Adder Ladder and walked the Galpin Path to White Rock. From White Rock we took the Galpin Front Path to the Pride of Hermanus Path which joins with the Jeep Track. We walked the Jeep Track and took the Shortcut Link Path to the Adder Ladder, and came down at the Visitors Center. All in total it was a 10.5 km hike.

The top of the mountains form a plateau from which you can see the Hemel And Aarde Valley. The big dam you can see is Die Bos Dam which is the water source for Greater Hermanus. You can also see the Caledon Road which runs through the valley. There are many local Wine Farms along this road. Wijnskool, Sumaridge, Hamilton Russel, Newton Johnson, Bosman Family Wines, Ataraxia, and Spookfontein are some that come to mind.
White fluffy cloud covered the Valley like a wooly blanket.
