Footwear specialist FALKE South Africa has teamed up with outdoor adventure experts Dirtopia as the presenting sponsor of the popular full moon hikes at Delvera Farm just outside of Stellenbosch for another season.

Experience the splendour of the great outdoors with magnificent views of the Cape Peninsula.  Enjoy a leisurely 9,75km hike on a marked circle route through the vineyards, traversing the majestic Yellow Wood forest to the top of Klapmutskop in the heart of the Greater Simonsberg Conservancy.

A spectacular sunset with stunning views of the winelands and even Table Mountain awaits at the top, while participants can enjoy light snacks on top of Klapmutskop while watch the full moon rise.

Starting from the Trail Centre, it will take approximately an hour to reach the top. Participants are therefore advised to adhere to the stipulated arrival times, which change every month according to the times of sunset and the rising of the moon.  Farm vehicles are available to transport children and elderly hikers to the start of the shorter 4,5km route at the famous Pepper Tree from where it will take about 30 minutes to the top.

Torches are needed for walking down (also for sale at Trail Centre) and hikers are encouraged to bring something warm to wear. The cost for the Falke Full Moon Hikes 2020 @ Delvera is R120 for adults and R60 for children under the age of 10 this includes the permit, optional shuttle, map and marked route. Klapmutskop is part of Simonsberg Conservancy.  As the hike takes place in a conservancy, no dogs are allowed.

Advance bookings are advised as space is limited.  Book NOW

Hikers are allowed to bring their own food to enjoy on top of the mountain.

As the event is normally fully booked (especially on weekends and high season), you will be liable for the cost if anyone in your group do not pitch, as we turn away other keen hikers.

To make the most of your hiking experience, wear comfortable hiking socks and shoes.  The latest FALKE Advance Performance range of hiking socks is available at the Dirtopia Trail Centre.

Utilising innovative design and technologies, Advance Performance promises ultimate functionality and wearer advantage, combining over a century of expertise with the most advanced technologies available globally.

If you love the outdoors, try the AH2 Cool or AH4 Wool for a perfect hike. The all-weather cool hiking sock offers a comfort top, strategic cushioning in high strain areas, extra heel and toe reinforcement and advanced wicking and robust lightweight yarns innovation. The left and right ergonomic construction in specific sizes 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 provides the ultimate in wearer comfort and fit. 

Advanced Hike 4 (AH4) shares similar properties to the AH2, while the deep plush wool with its rapid moisture absorbency and warming acts as a thermal regulator and provides superior cushioning and protection.  In addition, its special anti-tick and mosquito treatment will keep away insects.

We do not recommend any valuables left in your vehicle, although farm patrol is on standby.
