ATKV hiking trail

The unique Hartenbos hiking trail along the beach consists of marble slabs containing extracts from the work of 16 poets from various periods of the past century’s Afrikaans poetic art. All the poems are about the sea or reflect some aspect of South Africa’s maritime history and experiences. A poetic experience indeed!
