Glad you enjoyed the visit. Been a rough ride with the weather in Hermanus (and elsewhere) the last few months. The Droekloof is a favourite of mine as I stay only a km away. Good cardio and kudos to doing it with a baby on board. You will probably have noticed the water damage all over Fernkloof (not sure when you were here) and the erosion up the Kloof. Made worse by fires in 2019 so that the ground covers didn’t really have time to reestablish. It’s going to take some rehabilitation, money and time to make all of Fernkloof walkable again unfortunately. Thanks for visiting and see you soon again.(Up Droekloof and down the Zig Zag or Adders Ladder is right of passage if you live here and enjoy hiking.)
Thank you for the warm welcome and insights! We truly enjoyed the beauty of the Droekloof and the challenges it presented, especially with a little one in tow. The impact of the weather and fires is evident, and we appreciate the effort needed for Fernkloof's restoration. Your local perspective adds depth to our experience. Looking forward to returning and conquering the Zig Zag or Adders Ladder - it sounds like a true Hermanus adventure! See you soon again!
