The intrepid hiker, Simon, is leading me down a dirt path on Sunday... This is what he's told me: Trail distance: 7km (5 hours) Nearest town: Paarl Region: Boland Date: Sun 17 December Meet: Rondebosch @ 5:30am Trail description: This easy out-and-back trail starts in Du Toitskloof, immediately to the left after the Worcester exit of the Huguenot Tunnel. Permit holders can park at a fenced parking area, about 700m after the tunnel, on the left side of the road near the tunnel control truck stop. From the parking area the trail leads back towards the tunnel (as for the Elands River Trail). Look for a sign beneath the two bridges indicating the direction of the Krom River Trail. The trail crosses the Krom and Molenaars Rivers and leads for 2.5km (about 2.5 hours) to the Krom River waterfall. The first section (about 10 minutes) of the footpath follows the right bank of the Molenaars River in the direction of the old tunnel. When it reaches the Krom River the path follows the right side of the kloof. At the top end of the kloof the vegetation becomes more dense. The last section leads through indigenous riverine forest to the first waterfall. This very popular trails may be inaccessible in winter after heavy rains when the river can be difficult and dangerous to cross. It may be closed in winter. Hikers are cautioned when climbing between the first and second waterfalls, and are advised to carry a rope. The second waterfall and large plunge pool are quite spectacular.
