We always see this “Monster’s Spine” in the mountain at Fernkloof when we drive from Hermanus CBD towards Voëlklip. We were captivated enough to go and explore one of Fernkloof's many hiking trails. We literally just guessed where the best place would be to go up the mountain and we got it right!

We started out in Reservoir Road…

…and hiked up the reservoir track until we reached the “Droëkloof” sign where we turned right and then went straight up in the kloof until we reached the top. Once at the top you can have a sneak peak of the views (at this stage you are on the monster’s back) and then turn around and go up even further. On the way up you can clearly see the monster’s spine to your right. Once at the top you get this amazing Eagle Eye view of the whole Hermanus!
From there we went down the zig zag path and then took the Pipe Track back to the car. 😊

Fernkloof has an amazing and interesting history!
Early in the nineteenth century, Hermanus Pieters, used to walk ‘over the mountain’ from Caledon, year after year, to camp at the coast and enjoy the abundant fish and shellfish he found here.
From the nineteenth century into the twentieth century, the village (Hermanus) grew rapidly.
Eventually some far-sighted residents recognised the botanical richness of the area in which they lived and realised the need for preserving what they could for posterity.
Today the reserve has more than 60km of graded paths and the herbarium, having been awarded international status, houses 3500 pressed specimens!
Fernkloof Nature Reserve covers 18 square kilometres in the Kleinrivier Mountains in Hermanus and ranges in altitude from sea level to 824 m.
