    Hiking

    The shelter at 1400 m above sea level at Towerkop serves as an overnight accommodation for hikers on the way to Nel's Cave at the Towerkop summit. The open tin hut is additionally protected with stones and offers shelter for around 6 people. There is a barbecue area in front of the hut. There is a stream nearby. In December there was still running water here.
