Sunset hike

The autumn edition of the Sunset to Full Moon Hike at Muratie will take place on Sunday March 5, at the Muratie wine estate in Stellenbosch. Hikers can look forward to breathtaking views of the Winelands while hiking to the look-out point at the foot of the Simonsberg mountain. A wine station will be set-up at the picnic area on the mountain. Hikers are encouraged to wear good walking shoes and bring headlamps.The total circular marked route is only 3.5km, and it is do-able by all ages and fitness levels. Steps to the top of about 2km, can take 30 to 45 minutes to hike. Hikers can start their hikes at 5.30pm, when a coffee station will be ready on arrival and is expected back at the starting point at Trail Centre between 7.45pm and 8.15pm. Hikers are cautioned against starting hikes after 6.30pm, as sunset will be at 7.15pm. There will be a lucky draw after the hikes with a hamper from Falke socks to be won.
