Activity Description

YPO Morning Stellenbosch Mountain hike

After a briefing by the guide and an introduction to the history of Stellenbosch, we take a meandering pathway from Lanzerac into the Stellenbosch mountain.

There will be only one hill on the route, and while the first part is steep, it levels off quickly and only takes a few minutes to get to the top. This hill is on a wide gravel road with a solid surface. After enjoying views of the mountains and vineyards of the Jonkershoek Valley, we descend via a winding road and stroll through the sport ground of Stellenbosch University which offers a stunning backdrop of the surrounding mountains. We cross the Eerste River and walk along the beautifull pathways along the river back towards Lanzerac.

The route is approximately 7km long, and there will be a number of stops in shady areas along the way where the guide will tell the group about the history of wine making in South Africa and various other quirky bits of history about the town.
