Kalk Bay Tranquility Cracks

Kalk Bay Tranquility Cracks
I have hiked many many times in Kalk Bay but I never found these cracks until recently. What a place. You walk to one of the most remote peaks in Kalk Bay, and there is a beautiful tranquil spot, where caves disappear into the mountain, where there is a perfect crab-grass spot to sit and relax, and you far away from everywhere. Where the Table Mountain cracks are well known these are unknown. The walk there is also very fascinating. Sometimes you cannot believe that the path makes its way through this rough terrain, but it does and takes you to some spectacular scenery.
