Hiking Trails at de Pakhuys

 

Rocklands is an ancient landscape beyond the realms of imagination,  carved and sculpted by the elements over countless millenia,  this wonderous place is a paradise of boulders, towers and crags. There is hectare upon hectare upon hectare of the most incredible sandstone,  solid and alluringly reddened,   Wondering about its labyrinth ways each corner turned,  each passageway explored yield more and more rock,  perfectly arranged to climb.  In its solitude and silences it's enough simply to be there and gaze in wonder at the legacy of the earths creator. - Nigel Sheppard

See this on both Waterfall and Kloof walks
