Matroosberg
Posted by Melanie Esterhuyse on 17 August 2023 12:00 PM CAT
Ahoy! Have you ever wondered where the name Matroosberg acquired its name?
The answer: when you look up at the Hex River Mountain while entering the Hex River Valley towards De Doorns in the north east, you will spot a rock formation that indicate an outlining in the shape of a sailor standing on his boat.
If your dream is to roam the Matroosberg and if you are a skilled mountaineer, then we are inviting you to come and hike along this unchartered route and to visit the site of the sailor and his boat.
While overlooking the Hex, you will enjoy extraordinary, monumental and epic views that you will remember for the rest of your life.
You will also see the Groothoek kloof while gazing across lush greenery of the valley.
Contact local mountaineer, Retief Jordaan at +27 (0) 23 356 2226 or email retief@hexvallei.co.za for a guided or solo hikes.
Elevation gain: 1 700m
Distance: 10km
