Drakensberg Hikes

Route: Giants Castle to Meander Hut (derelict)
Distance: 7 km (14 km return)
Duration: 2 hours each way (day hike)
Starting at the Hotel walk 100m along the road and then turn right up hill for 1km and follow the contours to the top. Walk on the left side of the ridge on towards the viewpoint at 2019m high and then down other side. About 1km and 150 drop from here and you will find the now derelict hut.
The views into valley make the walk well worthwhile. Return along the tracks and either go along berg view path 3 km from hill or straight down the management track to road, left and to the camp.
