Florence Hill

The trail starts at the Kaapschehoop Hut, follows all along the escarpment to Florence Hill and includes magnificent views of the De Kaap valley, lush indigenous forests, gorges, pine-scented plantations, streams and interesting structures from the De Kaap goldfields that are of historical interest. From the Florence Hill Hideaway, you have the option to either return to the Kaapschehoop Hut or to continue to the Barretts Coaches on the previous Coetzeestroom route. Florence Hill to Kaapschehoop The first section of the trail is through plantation that leads you all the way around a gorge to a picnic table with a spectacular view back to Florence Hill. After a steep up and downhill you reach the Kaapschehoop / Barretts Coach split at the magasines. Reaching the split, you stay on the side of a gorge with spectacular view over the Coetzeestroom gorge. Sappi Ngodwana paper mill can be seen from here and is the largest paper mill in the southern hemisphere. Once you crossed the tar road, descent into Battery Creek.
