Mlambonja Pass to Twins Cave Trail in Cathedral Peak (original) (raw)

The Mlambonja Pass to Twins Cave Trail is an 11 km route up to the Mlambonja Pass to Twins Cave. It is a steep trail that heads up from the Cathedral Peal Hotel, past the trout hatchery and follows the Mlambonja River.

It is a strenuous day�s climb, so please remember this when deciding on the trail, and when packing. The trail is therefore suited to fit, and somewhat experienced hikers, but the pay off is worth it!

Look out onto beautiful vistas and scenery, refresh yourself in the river, and enjoy a challenging hike.
