Woodville Big Tree short walk near Hoekwil

A brisk short walk to enjoy the splendour of indigenous forest sights and sounds.

The Big Tree is the main attraction, which always seems much larger in real life since it is almost impossible to capture a photo of the entire tree.

When you are done taking family photos and selfies in front of the Woodville Big Tree, we recommend the short 30-40 minute walk around the forest. The short walk goes in a loop, and you end up near the Big Tree.

On this 2km stroll, you can enjoy a wide range of colourful mushrooms, fungi plants and insects. Cross the river streams and relish in the sounds of a variety of birds.

End your walk with an enchanted picnic or a forest braai. Equipped with picnic tables, braai facilities and toilets.

Tips: Take a picnic basket or make a braai – remember the grill! Permits are obtainable at the entrance gate of the forest.
