Platbos stretches across 20 hectares of land. It offers a challenging hike, which you would have to start from the eastern side. There is a 4×2 road that you need to drive up until the circle route situated at the foot of the Riviersonderend Mountain. From the circle route, you need to follow the pathway that will take you 200m into the forest. If you do not stay on this path, you may enter the forest deeper and there is a possibility you can get lost. If by any chance you do find yourself lost, please follow the stream downwards towards the 4×4 route, situated on the southern side of the forest.
