Kleinmond Trail Gets Upgrade To Improve Hiking Experience
Story 1
Hikers visiting Jean’s Hill in Kleinmond can look forward to an improved trail, with work underway to address erosion along the popular route.
Kleinmond Natuur has partnered with Overstrand Municipality to upgrade the path from Fourth Street to the summit. The sandy section at the start of the trail has repeatedly eroded during heavy rainfall.
The affected area is being reinforced with grass blocks, a method the municipality has successfully used in the coastal nature reserve. Both partners are sharing the cost of the improvements.
The upgrade will help keep the hiking route in better condition for residents and visitors while protecting the surrounding natural environment.
