Mount Katrien
Imagine having no one around, but being surrounded by endless horizons. You listen closely, the city noises have gone, and all you can hear is the essence of nature. You finally have time; time to sit and reflect, time to take in the beauty of the bush…time to escape. This is what Mount Katrien is all about.
