Allow approximately 6–7 hours for the 14 km one-way route. The McGregor-side trailhead is at Die Galg, outside the village. The trail links the Greyton and McGregor sides of the Riviersonderend Mountains. This is not a casual village stroll. Plan fitness, daylight, weather, water, permits and your transport before setting out.
An accommodation booking does not include a hiking permit or a shuttle. Confirm the correct trailhead and current conditions with the official trail operator.
