LAUNCH AND OPENING OF THE TRAIL
Hikers – accompanied by donkeys and guides – will soon be able to walk to the Hell, as the
pioneers of yesteryear. Before the road to Gamkaskloof was built in 1962, the only way in or
out of the kloof was on foot.
“Ten years ago, we bought the farm with the gateway to the original route used by donkeys to
reach Gamkaskloof,” said Erika Calitz of the farm Living Waters in Groenfontein near Calitzdorp.
“In partnership with Cape Nature we will re-open the original route, offering an authentic
heritage experience from which the local community will benefit.
The walk will be three nights and four days with a maximum of eight people walking at any time.
Guest’s luggage will be portered and all meals are included.
