Diagonal Route

Since Blinkwater ravine became dangerous and was closed, the Diagonal path is the first way up the Atlantic side from Kloof Nek along the Pipe Track, and is a justifiably popular route. However, the Porcupine ravine watercourse gets washed away by winter

A compact 1.8 km route ideal for a relaxed morning out. At an easy pace, plan for about 24 minutes.

This is a point-to-point route, running from one location to another. Plan ahead for return transport, or consider reversing the route on your way back. Follow the Diag waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
