Anyone looking for a bit of everything on a trail, the top loop on matroosberg is it!

The rain has made it nice and Patrol friendly..

Matroosberg offers a lot, it has become expensive though. Most people ever only does Matroosberg when it snows. It is however a very nice route to do in the dry. The top circular route is challenging enough and execellent camping is available on top.
Here is a pic of a nice challenging section:

I dont think too many people are going to take their R400000 vehicle up there, unless they are on maintenance

Jacques, I actually prefer Matroosberg in the dry. Beautiful views and a nice trail.

Agree!!

Lovely campsite in the Dennebos & the views (and route) up there is awesome!
Winter too crowdy, too wet & slippery, poor vision, limited access, etc.
Bottom line = An absoute
GREAT 4x4 trail...!!
