Green Mountain Eco Route   
Approx. 3-5 hours total 1-2 hrs hike/walk

The Cape Floral kingdom is the smallest yet richest plant kingdom on earth and is internationally recognized as a biodiversity hot spot and South Africa’s latest world heritage sight widely known as the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. There is approximately only 9% of unique Renosterveld and low-land coastal Fynbos eco-systems left.

The Green Mountain Eco Route trail travels from our base at the Elgin/Grabouw Country Club next to the large Eikenhof Lake. We pack up our open canopied 4 x 4 ranger with refreshments, binoculars, camera and high spirits, traveling to a thousand meter view point through the Nuweberg Forest, past lakes ascending the Green Mountain on a jeep track passing many spectacular Fynbos habitats as we gain altitude. There we hop off and walk 1 – 2 hrs amongst these rare plants on a fairly easy walking trail viewing far to the South West. Some of the best views in the world! As we walk along the ridges we discuss the history of the area and identify many rare and spectacular natural phenomena. There are 5000 hectares of mountain conservancy with 87 red data plants. This is an increasingly popular day out for all age groups and all who seek mountain rejuvenation and engaging with true nature. Most love this experience as a highlight - Picnic lunch Optional  Just ask on booking !!!
