Abseiling in Clarens is awesome. Characterized by lovely sandstone cliffs on the mountains, it just makes it an all exciting and stunning adventure. Abseiling here accommodates both the novice and the experts as well. You get to have the best view of Clarens and its surroundings at the top of the Swartland Rock.
Experience the adrenalin rush on this sandstone rock face at 50 m/164 ft high, by first hiking its back cliff and then a vertical drop at the front. Experienced guides are at your beck and call and ensure that safety precautions are adhered to.
This trail is about 17km long, taking the best part of a day, and is recommended only for experienced hikers. It is a fantastic route, showcasing some of the best that the area offers in terms of plant life, scenery and outdoor adventure in general.
The trail starts with a steady climb up the side of the Jonkershoek Valley. You gain altitude quickly and after about 3.5km, the contour path is reached. This is a pleasant respite as you contour along the mountainside, winding in and out of the folds of the mountain. Then, the very steep ascent to Berg River Neck begins. The intense effort required for this uphill is well rewarded with the awesome view down Assegaaibos Gorge on the one side, and Jonkershoek Valley on the other side. Another short ascent takes you onto the stretch of mountain, closing the back of the valley. This entire meandering section offers the stunning panoramic
views for which the trail is named after.
Once the opposite side of the valley is reached, the knee jarring descent starts. The section’s name Kurktrekker, says it all – it is the Afrikaans word for cork screw. The path zig-zags down the mountain at an extremely steep gradient, only levelling somewhat near the valley bottom, where it traces the Eerste River to take you back to our starting point.

This hike takes place within an ancient rock fault within the Jonkershoek valley, and in a relatively short distance it showcases the variety of forms of indigenous flora as well as the geology of the area very well. It is a circular trail, taking you initially through a stand of protea trees, and then winds its way up to a rock strewn slope. The path then levels off onto a flat contour section, offering lovely views over the Jonkershoek valley.
At times, you shall pass through some small pockets of indigenous forest with various tree types that may be well as much as 250 to 300 years old. One of these shady areas will be the ideal spot to stop for lunch. After this section, the zig – zagging descent starts with the impressive cliff face rising up out of the fault line, forming an imposing backdrop to the beautiful scenery. This descent will take you all the way back to our starting point. With such floral variety in the area, there is a good chance to see plants in flower at any time of the year you choose to do this hike.

This is a short but adventurous hiking trail, including some climbing and scrambling; however, don’t be deterred if you have limited climbing experience – the tricky sections are optional and there is enough to see without doing those. The trail firstly meanders along the Eerste River and the first waterfall is easily reached. This is a great rest stop, where you can admire the dripping moss banks and old indigenous trees. Soon after, the trail takes a sudden up-turn, curving towards a steep sided gorge.
Where the path meets this gorge is where the really fun part starts! The river is now your path, and at times you will be hopping from rock to rock while vertical cliffs hem you in on either side. A few minutes of wandering between lush ferns, trees and moss takes you to the trickiest section of the hike. Here, those who feel that they would rather not try this section can enjoy the scenery around them, while rest of the group does the last short section up to the second waterfall. For those who make it all the way, the second waterfall is quite a sight to behold as its flow feeds the water plants clothing the cliff face that it runs down. Please note that in high summer the flow of waterfalls may be drastically reduced, however, in late January and February this is one of the few places to witness the flowering of the endangered and very rare Cape Red Disa.
