Geocache Description:


Take the road which goes to St Bernard’s Peak Hotel from the R617 between Underberg and Kokstad (approx 57 km from Underberg and 60km from Kokstad) in the southern Berg region.

Parking is available at St Bernard’s Peak Hotel which is approximately 30km from the R617 (S 30.03.370 E 029.06.458, altitude 1779m), but please speak to the receptionist at the hotel.

Behind the hotel take the red road heading uphill which becomes a path. As you climb keep taking the path heading uphill when you come to any forks.

Do take a little detour off the path to look into the cave and mushroom rocks at S 30.03.679 E 029.05.585. At this stage you are nearly at the top.

Reaching the top, keep on the path until you intersect with a jeep track at S 30.03.638 E 029.05.448 (altitude 2171m). There is a small cairn at this point, so find a stone to add to it.

Now turn right along the jeep track. You will pass a trig beacon on your right, and where the jeep track makes a big curve, head off left along a bridle path towards the cave.

From the cave you have a panoramic view over the Transkei. There are interesting rock formations nearby.

Should you find any problems with the cache, please tell Ian Worrall (the manager at the hotel).
