Dikkop Trail

📏
20.5 km Distance
5h 6min Est. duration
Hard Difficulty
Linear Route type

The Dikkop Trail is a circular walk (9.5 -22.3km) (meanders up north) which includes pristine strandveld, dune veld and a 2km walk along the beach. The walk is most spectacular in spring when the wild flowers along the route are in bloom.

Covering 20.5 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 4 hours and 33 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start.

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.
