Green Mountain Trail — Attraction in Theewaterskloof Local Municipality

What a wonderful time we had! Having done the Blue mountain trail, I was very happy that Andy joined me to do the 4 day Green mountain trail, leaving and returning each day to the comfort of Wildekrans Country House, where the superb and friendly team see to your every need, and serve up fantastic meals at every sitting.

We had a small group of 5 hikers, lead by Andreas and pushed from behind by Patrick, two highly knowledgeable, experienced and such fun guides, they made the trip… sharing their passion for this mountain, it’s geology, it’s wildlife and it’s trees… as well as carrying most of our daily food rations. Having Alison coordinating each day’s walk from Wildekrans allowed us to navigate a week of rain and storms, seldom seen in the Cape at this time of the year! This focus and flexibility meant we had a magical and fair weather walk each day, with the cloud and inclement weather affecting neither the views nor our enjoyment.

We will certainly be back, to visit the House, the team, as well as the...

I hiked the Green Mountain Trail from 15-17 October 2025. The trail begins and ends at the beautiful Wildekrans Country House each day. Friendly and knowledgeable guides Andries and Patrick met us at 7am each day and led us through vineyards, forests, and magnificent mountain paths with exquisite flowers and views and Eagles soaring above us. There wasn't a plant or bird call that they could not identify and the historical information shared was fascinating. The food provided by Allison from Wildekrans Country House and carried by Andries and Patrick was unbelievable! I won't spoil the surprise by detailing what we received, but I have never experienced or dreamed of experiencing such delicious, special food with hot filter coffee - on a hike! We took the options of ending day 2 and 3 at wine farms and enjoyed exquisite wine tasting and lunch - Just a perfect way to end a hike. In total we hiked about 35km over the 3 days. I highly recommend this trail and would gladly do it again. It was truly A-...

What a magnificent 4 days hiking the Groenlandberg and surrounds. The exquisite environment of the Kogelberg Biosphere entirely enhanced by the generosity, passion and expertise of our Guides, Andreas and Patrick ( and his perfectly personalised alien hiking sticks). Arranged and supported by Alison and her Team from our Wildekrans Country House base, no detail was overlooked... from beautifully carefully packed delicious Mountaintop meals to piping hot coffee and soup at our stops to the smooth organisation of collections and welcomes as we finished our day walking down into yet another top local Estate for a meal and a tasting. The combination of a good day's walk followed by and accompanied by treats at every turn has to be experienced to be appreciated. I cannot recommend this trail highly enough. Wish I was still there!
