Botanical to Cross 13km Hike Tue 18 Aug 2026 @ George, Western Cape

The Cross is a well-known landmark on the foot of the Outeniqua mountains in George. 

This is a lovely and very rewarding challenge to take on. Starting at the Garden Route Botanical Garden, we move up towards the Cross from where a beautiful view over George can be experienced. We will stop to rest and then from there in a Westerly direction, through the forest and return back to the start.
