Описание: Book a Private Tour www.africansuntours.com
Table Mountain, a world-renowned landmark in Cape Town, offers numerous routes for hikers seeking adventure and breathtaking views. One of the most popular and direct routes is via Platteklip Gorge, which provides a challenging yet rewarding experience. The journey begins at the trailhead located along Tafelberg Road, where hikers are greeted by the rugged beauty of the mountain.

The hike up Platteklip Gorge is steep and demanding, with an elevation gain of about 700 meters over a distance of approximately 3 kilometers. The trail, which is well-marked and maintained, involves a series of stone steps and switchbacks that lead hikers through a narrow ravine flanked by imposing rock faces. As you ascend, the vegetation transitions from fynbos to more sparse, rocky terrain, and the views of Cape Town and the Atlantic Ocean become increasingly spectacular.

Despite its difficulty, the trail is popular among both locals and tourists due to its direct route to the summit. Hikers should be prepared for a physically strenuous climb, bringing plenty of water, sun protection, and appropriate hiking gear. The ascent typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on fitness levels and pace.
