I cannot stop talking about how beautiful this hike is. Its very strenuous and takes 2 days.
The trails start from Uitsoek hut which is situated on the outskirts of Uitsoek forest station. Uitsoek hut is well equipped with bunk beds, mattresses, tables and chairs, undercover Braai facilities. It was raining heavy during the Friday night, so we starting trekking just after 6:30am, instead of the planned 5:30am start. The first day of the overnight hike is 15Km long and climbs over 900m during the course of the day. The Trail passes some spectacular scenery as it ascends through indigenous forest and grassland. The last few Kilometres of the first day take the one along a contour path until one reaches a deep kloof. Here the trail descends to a beautiful stream before once more ascending steeply. From the top the trail traverses plantations until the Lisabon hut is reached for an overnight stay before trekkng back the next day.
