Galpin Hut

Galpin Hut 2Situated on Galpin Peak, a 2 hour hike from the Visitors' Centre, the small Hut was built by the Hermanus Botanical Society in 1978. 

Starting at the Visitors' Centre at an elevation of just under 100m, it is a one hour hike up to the bench and viewpoint at the top of Adder Ladder at an elevation of 300m, passing through the Boekenhout Forest on the way. It is a further half hour across the Jeep Track to the White Rock (more pink with the algae), where one can take the left or right paths to Galpin Hut, a further half hour away at an elevation of 550m. A magnificent spot to enjoy the views, the fynbos and the peace!
