It stands proudly above a valley in the ancient landscape known as the Ugab terraces.

The third trail is a walk for those who enjoy geology and takes you on a trip around the South Terrace where you can see the spectacular
way these terraces have been formed. On your walk there is a small detour which you can take to our View Point to see the lovely scenery
which is unique to this area. This trail takes about one and a half hours to complete.

Joint Terrace hike (No charge)
The fourth trail is for people who want a longer walk, this trail combines two of our trails which takes you around South Terrace,
then about halfway along the trail there is a path that joins the extension of the Vingerklip walk, going around the North Terrace
