One of the unique attractions of Hermanus is the Cliff Path that stretches from the New Harbour in Westcliff all along the coastline to Grotto beach - just over 10 km long. It is accessible from many points all along the route. There are benches at strategic points which provide a rest and a place to sit and watch the whales or enjoy the sea views. From the Blow Hole at the New Harbour to Kraal Rock in Eastcliff there is a protected marine reserve and no shellfish, bait or other creatures may be removed. The trails in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve are well maintained and, following the contours as they do, are accessible even to those who might not otherwise put on boots to set off on an hour or two's walk. There are three self-guided trails of which one leads to Aasvoëlkop. At 824 metres above sea level, it is the highest point in the reserve and offers all-embracing views. The Frans Senekal Nature reserve in Vermont offers a delightful walk from Vermont along the sea edge past Hoek van den Berg to Hawston harbour. The full walk takes about two hours. |
