Hiking Trails & 4x4 Route
Kriedouw Lookout Hiking Trail
The Kriedouw Lookout trail (about 2km route) is a great trail running route as well as short hiking trail. It meanders and eventually leads you to the top of a hill which overlooks the farm. We have set up a lovely spot for a scenic picnic or sundowners; with car access and parking near the lookout spot.
Buchu Hiking Trail
The Buchu trail (about 1km route) leads you to the fragrant buchu fields and trigger an interest into the medicinal properties of South Africa's 'miracle herb'. Mostly used for medicinal purposes, buchu is an antibacterial, antifungal antioxidant, which has also been used as an analgesic (natural pain killer), antispasmodic (to treat stomach aches), as well as antipyretic (to treat fever, colds and flu).
Buchu oil is also used to give a fruit flavour to foods (mostly blackcurrant flavour). Buchu occurs naturally as a wild indigenous plant on the Krieberg farm, and you can also go on an adventurous search for wild buchu while hiking the Nieuwoudt Pass trail.
Rock Art Hiking Trail
The Rock art trail (about 2km route) is a beautiful collection of ancient San rock paintings and carvings (collectively called rock art) in a rock shelter. The artwork depicts non-human beings, hunters, and half-human half-animal hybrids. The half-human hybrids are believed to be medicine men or healers involved in a healing dance. Several other images of animals are depicted there too.
The discovery of these rock paintings and carvings has all of us rethinking the origins of art and of humanity.
Nieuwoudt Pass 4x4 Trail
The Nieuwoudt Pass trail (4x4 route) is a moderate to advanced hiking trail with somewhat challenging terrain mixed in with steep climbs and some bush walking.
This route is also used as an off-road 4x4 track, offering spectacular mountain views and access to remote areas of the Cederberg. The trail provides an adventurous way to explore the rugged landscape and discover wild buchu plants in their natural habitat.
