Echo valley hike
Hike from Kalk Bay
The hike begins from Boyes Drive, but can also be undertaken from the opposite direction. For this option start from Silvermine on Ou Kaapse Weg. A set of stone steps lead up from the road into the mountain. Climb past dense shrubs through beautiful fynbos, past waterfalls, and through the break in the trees. You will have a magnificent view of False Bay and the Kalk Bay harbour.
Caves in the sandstone mountains behind Kalk Bay with names like ‘Ronan’s Well’ and ‘Free Drinks Saloon’ are particularly interesting as they are formations found rarely in sandstone.
