One of Kleinmond’s favourite hiking routes is getting some much-needed TLC! The Kleinmond Conservation Association, better known as Kleinmond Natuur, and Overstrand Municipality’s Environmental and Conservation Management Division have joined forces to upgrade the popular trail from Fourth Street to the summit of Jean’s Hill.

The first section of the trail crosses a sandy area and has repeatedly suffered severe erosion during heavy rainfall.

This section is now being reinforced with grass blocks, similar to those successfully tested by the Municipality in the coastal nature reserve.

The project is a joint effort, with Overstrand Municipality and Kleinmond Natuur sharing the costs to give hikers a durable and enjoyable hiking trail for all to explore.
