This is the 12th consecutive year in which this walk will take place.
According to Robbie Vermont, secretary of Modderfontein Conservation Society, walks are so popular that prior booking is essential.
The cost will be R50 per visitor.
Walkers are advised to wear comfortable shoes and hats and to bring something to drink.

Walk leaders are members of the heritage section of the Modderfontein Conservation Society, Keith Martin and Robbie.
In addition, the historical Franz Höenig Haus will be open to the public in the morning.
