The See Through Rock & Dog Rock

The See Through Rock & Dog Rock
A beautiful, medium to low fitness walk in the Cape Peninsula to some beautiful rock formations that look down over the greater Cape Town. These rocks in the area have a variety of arches and shapes. Only a small section of this walk is off path, at the end, so this is not a frequently visited spot.

The PDF attached will provide you with detailed instructions on how to do this walk, along with instructions on finding a hidden cave. The cave is large, and extends deeply in the mountains. It can be explored with a torch and provides extra excitement for this walk
A PDF is available below for downloading to provide you with full details on how to get to this incredible place, along with MAPS and interesting facts about the region.
