SOUTHERN CROSS 3-DAY TRAIL RUN – PART 3 – WILDERNESS

Starting your journey from the ocean beach, you’ll be greeted by the sound of crashing waves and the salty breeze, setting the tone for a refreshing adventure. As you make your way through the indigenous forest, you’ll be surrounded by towering trees, vibrant foliage, and the tranquil sounds of nature. Keep an eye out for the diverse array of animals that call this forest home, from elusive mammals to colorful birds.

Crossing rivers along the way adds an element of excitement and challenge to your journey, offering opportunities for exploration and discovery. The deep gorges of the Kaaimans and Touw rivers, once formidable obstacles for ox wagons, now provide breathtaking vistas and memorable experiences for modern-day explorers.

The establishment of the farm The Wilderness marked the beginning of the village, which has since evolved into a popular tourist destination with the development of roads, hotels, and other amenities in the early 20th century transformed it into a thriving community, accessible by coastal roads.  Today, Wilderness retains its natural beauty and historic charm and is a charming village with a rich history dating back to the late 19th century.
