Circles in the Forest

3. The round trip via The Point is 11km and takes four hours or more. Not recommended for young children.

Combine a 3.5 km indigenous forest walk with a swim in one of the rock pools.
The walk, although short, is steep, wear walking shoes and take only those with healthy legs along.
Drupkelders is at it's best around lunch when there is full sun.

Millwood House was originally built in the Millwood mining village in the Knysna forests, site of South Africa’s first modern-era gold mining boon. (It was a very short one!)
The yellowwood building was dismantled and moved to Knysna after the mines were exhausted.
Now situated in town, it houses exhibitions of local history
