Louis Changuion Hiking Trail - Magoebaskloof, Limpopo
The Louis Changuion Hiking Trail is a scenic route located near the town of Haenertsburg in the Magoebaskloof area of Limpopo, South Africa. The trail spans about 10 km through indigenous forests, grasslands, and mountain landscapes, offering stunning views and rich biodiversity. It's well-known for its historical value, as the trail was named after local historian Louis Changuion. Along the way, hikers can encounter various bird species and plant life unique to the area.
The trail goes through three Afromontane forest patches and a highly threatened grassland. It begins and ends in the historical village of Haenertsburg in the foothills of the Wolkberg Wilderness area in Limpopo Province. The remains of a Long Tom cannon can be viewed in the village and a quaint isolated graveyard along the route also warrants a stop.
The trail is about 10 km in length and has stunning views, including a panorama of the northern most part of the Drakensberg range and quaint picnic spots. It should take about half a day to complete but hikers are encouraged to stop and look for special plants and animals along the way. Maps of the trail and information booklets on medicinal plants, insects and birds are available for hikers in the village. It is interesting to note that only one out of six plants are actually grasses unlike many other trails and hikers may be rewarded by seeing some unusual flowers. Some threatened fauna that may be seen along the hike are Blue Swallow, Methuens Dwarf Gecko and the Wolkberg Zulu Butterfly.
The trail is maintained on a volunteer basis by the community. The Louis Changuion Hiking Trail offers a restful weekend to recharge the batteries and the senses. Haenertsburg is about 300 km north of Johannesburg and 60 km north east of Polokwane (Pietersburg).
