Perdekop Hike (Franschhoek)

Sat Jan 15, 07:30 - Sat Jan 15, 15:00

Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve

ABOUT

Perdekop is a wonderful full day hike in big mountains where views are seemingly endless! The trail gains height quickly to Breakfast Rock before levelling out in the wide fynbos-clad valley, crossing a lovely little stream before we reach the best-known spot in the Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve – Uitkyk. The hidden amphitheatre of the beautiful Wemmershoek Valley is the perfect location for enjoying morning coffee whilst admiring sheer mountain grandeur of the towering peaks. We continue by ascending onto the high plateaus which get covered in amazing stands of ericas, dotted with orchids, irises and even the odd Queen Protea. After lunch at the Perdekop summit we descend on mostly gentle trail initially with a final steep section to reach the Dutoitsrivier footbridge.


We may do the hike in reverse based on weather, group make-up and/or other factors.
