ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Walk along the road initially and shortly after the 'Constantia Nek' sign take the path left that goes above the jeep track. The gradient rises quickly and rejoins the jeep track. Take a sharp left and head along sand road, at the end of which you rejoin the short path to the trig beacon.
TRAIL TRIVIA
Orangekloof (the valley west of Eagle's Nest) has been under special protection for over 70 years. Numerous precious indigenous trees such as the rooiels, Cape beech and hard pear is found here.
