Sterna Hiking Trail in Arniston, Western Cape (original) (raw)
About Sterna Hiking Trail
The Sterna Hiking Trail invites visitors to enjoy the unspoilt beauty of Arniston in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
The trail itself is seven kilometres long, and takes about three hours to complete, depending on fitness levels and the size of your group. It meanders through the De Mond Nature Reserve, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the gorgeous fauna and flora of the area.
The Sterna Hiking Trail includes a suspension bridge, which passes over the Heuningnes River, as well as a coastal forest, stretches of fynbos, the estuary and the scenic stretch of beach. This makes it ultimately scenic, and a fabulous spot for photographs. It is a circular trail, made appealing by its natural beauty and variety.
