Itinerary description
This short easy trail starts and ends at the parking next to the Langebaan entrance of the West Coast National Park. The trail is simple to follow as it ascends a clear path up to the granite monoliths known as Seeberg. On top the road meets the trail and there is a parking lot with a path that leads to a museum cottage with some interesting information about the National park and surrounding West Coast area. This trail was done on a rainy and overcast day on 10 Sep 2022, I was unable to record so I am adding post completion. On clear days the trail offers great views of the turquoise Langebaan lagoon below as well as the park's peninsula on the other side of the lagoon. In spring from late August to end September one can witness the splendor of the wildflowers that bloom and carpet the entire landscape with colour. To see this one will have to time the season correctly and need a day with sunshine to see the flowers open. If one is lucky enough, the Eland and other game do frequent the area so keep an eye out. This trail is very easy and suitable for almost anyone the only challenges are a slightly steep dune right near the start/end of the trail and various mole holes along the path which ones entire foot can sink into. This would be a good activity to have an easy stretch of the legs with great views if one is in Langebaan with limited time. The whole trail could take between 1 and 2 hours.

Very enjoyable easy walk. Only reason this is not 5 stars is because of the mole holes that you can suddenly sink knee deep into.
