Gxalingenwa Cave via Pholela Shelter
12.5 kms (5 hours) via Pholela Hut and an elevation gain of 530m.
The hike via Pholela Cave follows day 1 of the giants cup trail in reverse for the first 7.25km's and then you turn left (continue straight) and follow Gxalingenwa River up the valley.
The cave is a real cave with great views into the valley. It's worth staying overnight and making a weekend out of your hike.
