The area is access sensitive

🔴 Access
There is a fee of R18 (at the time of writing) payable to enter the kloof.

🚗 How to get there
From Bath Street in the centre of town, turn up Barry Street, then left through the dip passing a suspension bridge. Turn right at the fork towards signs showing the hiking trails and continue straight (past Rainbow Glen on the right), through a gate and over a bridge into the Montagu Mountain Reserve, to reach a little kiosk on your right by a boom. This is where you pay. Continue across another bridge and park on your right below the Ou Meul.

🚶‍♂️Approach
Fro Ou Meul parking lot, walk to the left up the gravel track (Bloupunt trail), to the hikers' hut.

🧗 The Cauldron is the huge cave on your left, behind the trees across the river, just before you reach the hikers’ hut.

🧗 The Slab: From the hikers’ hut, continue for a little while till you reach a T-junction in the path. Go left to reach the obvious grey slab.

🧗 The Scoop: From the hikers’ hut, continue for a little while till you reach a T-junction in the path. Go right to reach the base of The Scoop behind some trees on the left at a concrete weir.
