Sightseeing

The Cogmanskloof Hiking trail is 12.1 km long and can be completed in 4-6 hours. On the the first 2 km from the overnight cabin is steep – from then on the route is easy. Cogmans “summit” at 690m is half the height of Bloupunt but nevertheless offers a beautiful view of Montagu, the ravines and mountains. There are beautiful rock formations and wild flowers on top. Aloes, proteas, “sewejaartjies” and ericas are plentiful. Permit required.

The Badskloof Trail is 2.4 km long and connects the hot springs with Eyssenhuis / Ou Meul at Joubertpark. This trail offers a flat 1 hour walk through Badskloof with its many rock formations, rich bird life and many sport climbing routes. The trail can be a bit “adventurous” in some sections as the occasional floods cause the water-crossing bridges to get washed away. You might find your self having to either do a bit of balancy rock hopping or maybe take your shoes off. You can start this trail from either the Hot Springs of the Eyssenhuis side. The permit is only payable at Joubertpark (on the Eyssenhuis side).
