The Pierre Ferreira Hiking Trail takes you through beautiful virgin Karoo veld, offering panoramic views over the charming village of Willowmore. This hiking trail will take you through beautiful Karoo veldt, which is rich in succulents. The circular trail passes two old forts dating to the Boer War. The Willowmore Town Guards used these forts in 1902 to guard over the building of the railway line to Willowmore. At the time, the area was full of "Boer Rebels" who threatened to blow up the railway line. While hiking this easy 2-3 hour trail (preferably early in the mornings or late afternoon), you will be charmed by the panoramic views of the village and surrounding area, thus experiencing the Karoo in a truly unique way. Hiking this trail early in the morning or by sunset gives a truly unique experience of the Karoo.
