\n D<\/span>IEP in die Tsitsikammabos staan die reus daar met sy knopneus en hartseer gesigsuitdrukking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grotes om hom het onder die byl van die mens geval, kleineres het in hul plek opgestaan en hoog gegroei om ook deel van die kuswoud-blaredak te vorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die ou man staan so half eenkant, langs die grondpad van die Stormsrivierpas wat Thomas Baines in 1884 gebou het. Die pas is grootliks op die oorspronklike olifant-voetpad gebou. Die grootvoete is lankal weg en dis net voetslaners, fietsryers en besoekers op die Woodcutter\u2019s Journey wat die pad gebruik. Die N2-snelweg het jare gelede reeds die Stormsrivierpas vervang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHierdie Baines-pas . . . dis klipwerk wat vir ewig staan,\u201d s\u00ea Hainey Jacobs, die toergids van Stormsriver Adventures op die houtkappersroete deur Plaatbos in die Tsitsi-kamma Nasionale Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSien julle daar doer onder, daar is die rivier, nou lyk hy glad nie stormagtig nie, maar glo my, hy kan baie ongeskik raak,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns sit nou hier op \u2019n vragmotor en op die pas wat Thomas Baines gebou het . . . kan julle net dink hoe moes dit jare gelede gewees het vir die mense wat hier moes deur met ossewaens . . . en di\u00e9 pad was baie nouer?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hainey kyk op na die Kaapse Hardepeer (Olinia ventosa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHierdie boom met die gesig was 134 jaar gelede al \u2019n grootman toe hulle die pad hier kom bou het. Vandag is hy so 450 jaar oud,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Gautenger het die menseboom hier ontdek, vertel Hainey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHy is Naas Prinsloo . . . hy het onse o\u00eb vir ons kom oopmaak en as natuurgids is ek hom ewig dankbaar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hainey vertoef nie te lank by die \u201cmenseboom\u201d nie, want vir hom is die kuswoud \u2019n skatkis vol van inheemse juwele wat hy met die besoekers wil deel. Selfs n\u00e1 \u2019n piek- niek op die verste punt van die roete, op die teruggekeer Stormsrivier toe, bly hy sy ryk boskennis deel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hainey praat die bos oop vir sy besoekers, op s\u00f3 \u2019n manier dat \u2019n inheemse woud nooit weer \u201cnet\u201d \u2019n klomp bome bymekaar sal wees nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Mens sal altyd wonder oor die ineengeweefde worteltapyt onder jou voete, hoe die bome mekaar nie net geanker hou nie, maar ook mekaar waarsku teen blaarvreters. Jy sal wonder watter boom nou alweer knoppies op sy blare uitstoot sodat die insek wat eiers wou kom l\u00ea, sal dink daar is reeds eiers gel\u00ea en dan aanbeweeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jou o\u00eb sal oop wees vir die Swarttowerhasselaar (black witch hazel), want nou weet jy \u2013 hierdie unieke plant sorg dat die inheemse woud sy grond- en lug vogtigheid behou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hainey glimlag. \u201cDis hoekom die inheemse bos nie maklik brand nie \u2013 danksy die hasselaar wat help keer dat die vogtigheid uit die bos verdamp en help sorg vir klammigheid in die grond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit is vrugbare grond, grond wat jy ruik, grond waarin jy jou hande diep wil indruk om twee handevol uit te haal en te kyk hoeveel lewe daarin is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maar jy wil nie skade aanrig nie, so dan staan jy maar net stil en jy asem die bos in en luister na die boskonsert, aangebied deur vo\u00ebl, sonbesie, wind en ritselende blare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asof hy die betowering van di\u00e9 magiese bos wil beklemtoon, skuifel \u2019n dwergverkleurmannetjie voetjie vir voetjie teen \u2019n boomstam uit . . . s\u00f3 suutjies dat \u2019n mens dit amper miskyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hainey kyk die verkleurmannetjie agterna tot hy heeltemal uit sig is en s\u00ea dan: \u201cAnder bosdiere gaan julle nie sommer sien nie, hulle kom saans uit. Miskien net Meneer Aap en Mevrou Bobbejaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die vragmotor met die besoekers agterop ry \u2019n ent verder voor Hainey weer \u201cFie-fie-fie!\u201d fluit en op die voertuig se dak klop om stil te hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teen di\u00e9 tyd het almal al geleer om op die bankies te bly sit, want dit is woerts-warts, dan is Hainey weer terug. Di\u00e9 keer hou hy vaalgrys blaartjies vas, en kneus dit tussen sy vingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRuik. Dit is nou wat hulle noem Khoi-goed. Hoekom? Omdat die Khoi vroe\u00ebr jare \u2019n klomp van hierdie as beddegoed bymekaargemaak het,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die gekneusde blare ruik na sitronella \u2013 die middel wat \u2019n mens aanspuit of die seep waarmee jy was om goggas van jou lyf te hou. Hainey glimlag weer breed. \u201cDie Khoi was slim om dit te gebruik, n\u00ea?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ver onder kronkel die Stormsri-vier soos \u2019n blink slangetjie deur die ravyn. Vanaf die pas is die uitsig op die steil rotswande grootliks verberg deur boom, bos en struik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suidwaarts dreun die branders teen die ongerepte kuslyn, noordwaarts dreun die verkeer op die N2, en \u2019n mens wonder: As Baines nooit die Stormsrivierpas op die olifant-voetpad gebou het nie, sou die olifante nog hier geloop het?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Vat jou tyd . . .<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir Hainey se toer en die geleentheid om die bosreus \u201cin die o\u00eb\u201d te kyk is dit opsigself die moeite werd om die 166 km van Port Elizabeth hierheen te ry, maar vir wat sal \u2019n mens nou so iets doen wanneer daar nog so baie ander goed is om hier te sien?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sit eerder \u2019n hele naweek \u2013 van die Vrydagmiddag tot die Sondagmiddag \u2013 opsy om hierdie streek behoorlik te verken. Die meeste besoekers keer terug, want selfs nie eens \u2019n naweek is genoeg vir alles wat \u2019n mens hier kan sien en doen nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besluit vooraf waar jy oral wil aandoen en re\u00ebl jou afsprake en verblyf daarvolgens. Andersins word jy dalk tot so \u2019n mate oorwel-dig deur die keuses dat jy net op een plek gaan sit en tuisgebroude bier drink \u00f3f jy gaan jaag van die een ding na die ander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op die Sondagmiddag, op jou pad huis toe, kan jy gaan inloer by die groot boom 3,8 km van Stormsrivier af, maar moenie jaag nie. \u2019n Mens kuier nie tjoef-tjaf by \u2019n gerekende oudste van 800 jaar nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie Outeniqua-geelhout to-ring nagenoeg 36,6 meter die lug in, en sy stam is sowat 9 meter in omtrek. Om die woudvloer te beskerm het Sanparke \u2019n paadjie van planke van die ingang, deur die bos tot by die boom aangel\u00ea. Pak \u2019n piekniekmandjie en gaan kuier rustig aan die voet van hierdie bosreus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As daar dan nog genoeg tyd is, kan jy by die Oudebosch Padstal stop vir \u2019n Protea-toer om alles te hoor en te sien van di\u00e9 besonderse plante wat onder die oudste op aarde gereken word. Die Koningsprotea is Suid-Afrika se nasionale blom en word s\u00f3 genoem omdat sy blom lyk soos \u2019n kroon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Oudebosch-padstal l\u00ea die naaste aan Port Elizabeth (138,2 km) en net so oor die 30 km verder wes l\u00ea die dorpie Stormsrivier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Die dorpie en die rivier<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moenie di\u00e9 dorpie verwar met die Stormsrivier wat \u2019n paar kilometer daarvandaan verbyloop nie. Die Stormsrivier is s\u00f3 genoem vanwe\u00eb die kolkende watermassas wat n\u00e1 swaar re\u00ebnval in veral die opvangsgebied deur die rivier kan jaag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Maart 2000 het 13 mense verdrink toe hulle met binnebande op die rivier gevaar en \u2019n \u201cwatermuur\u201d wat verder binnelands opgestoot het, hulle getref het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daar is verskeie voetslaanroetes in die omstreke van Storms- en Bloukransrivier, asook in die nabygele\u00eb Tsitsikamma Nasionale Park, naamlik die Goesa- (2 km), Plaatbos- (tussen 6 en 9 km), Stinkhoutkloof- (8 km), Rugbos- (tussen 1,3 en 3,1 km), Big Tree Ratel- (2,6 en 4,2 km), Blouduiker- (3,7 km), Loerie- (1 km) en die Waterval-roete wat ook die eerste drie kilometer vorm van die w\u00eareldgewilde Ottervoetslaanroete (42,5 km).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Otter neem die stapper vyf dae lank oor berg en strand, deur kloof, ravyn en rivier en verby krans deur \u2019n onbeskryflike natuurskoon tot by Nature\u2019s Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog \u2019n voetslaanroete is die 2 km-plank-loopweg na die hangbrug oor die mond van die Stormsrivier \u2013 party plekke is dit \u2019n steil klim, maar die beloning is \u2019n uitsig oor die onstuimige see en riviermonding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anderkant die 77 meter lange hangbrug sit mense mymerend op die rotse en kyk en luister hoe die see ghwaghwarrrr! oor die spoel-klippe inrol en uitrol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
