A 10 km hike, mostly uphill to the best overnight hut in the Drakensberg. The hike starts at the day picnic spot at Giants Castle. A short downhill and then a mostly gentle climb for about 4km's.
The last 5km's are along the contours to the Hut, enjoy the views on the way. The sunrise that awaits you from the hut in the morning is spectacular.
