Update on Trails - Oct. 2011
The trails that we do are often overgrown with shrub and thorny bushes. Members of our hiking group check the trails once in a while. They try to keep the trails open.
Some old trails are closed, but there are new trails to enjoy.
Here is an overview of the trails that the hiking group did recently:
Ascension - all trails are in good condition. (North)
Boca Sami - the Sint Michielberg (hill) and around the laguna.
Boca Sami to Vaarsebaai Unico and back (short, very pleasant walk along the South coast).
Boca Santa Pretu. North.
"Bart-Dick" pad, along the Kippenfarm. (for insiders). North.
Groot St. Joris Koraal Tabak (cave). North.
Groot St. Joris (starting at the Struisvogelfarm). North.
Jamanike - Mal Pais. Steep climb. (Mal Pais - South)
Jan Kock- Rif Marie. Round trail of 2 and a 1/2 hour.
Jan Thiel. There is a lot of building going on, but we find new ways around those places. (south - east)
Kabrietenberg ( Beekenburg). Up the hill or around it. Head of trail sometimes hard to be found. (East)
Klein St.Joris. North - east.
Pannenkoek - to Boca Sal. South.
Porto Marie and Daaibooi (getting stuck in the bushes). South.
San Nicolaas (not the plantation, but the trails along the coast - Playa Hulu). South.
Santa Catharina (North Side).
Ronde Klip (North Side).
Vaarsenbaai: Bina trail.
Veerisberg (South side - quite a climb)

From the main road to Knip and Westpunt, there is a sign pointing to San Nicolas and Santu Pretu. Follow the sandy road till you find a place to leave your car. The San Nicolas Plantation is not open to visitors, but there are trails to the South Coast that pass the plantation. See MAPS.
