Basic Trail Description:

The Hiking trail is situated in the beautiful surrounding of the North- Eastern escarpment. The scenery is diverse, varying from the cultural landscape of the historical Pilgrims Rest town, through pine plantations to pristine afromontane forests.

Furthermore, on the mountaintops, one gets to walk through alpine Grasslands, one of the most diverse and most threatened habitats in South Africa. From the tops of the mountains, the hiker is graced by magnificent views over the lowveld. After hiking this trail you truly understand why the region is known as the Panorama Route.
