With lots of farm tracks you have the opportunity to walk off into any direction in total safety. When it comes to an official hike the Compassberg is a definite must do! At 2500 m above sea level it is not an easy hike for the average person. We highly recommend this for the more adventures.
It is about a 70 km drive to get to the foot of the mountain and you have to buy a permit from the farm owner. We advice that you contact and book with them before you set off. The can be a factor sometimes and in winter temperatures can drop to minus 10 degrees and even colder during the night.
