We did the 15km trail, which ended with winding up and down a rocky hillside to add distance to the route. It was nice enough but the end felt like a slog. Very little shade. Varied terrain. Periodic views of Pretoria from the hilltop.
Lots of Suikerbos, no much shade, multiple surfaces, great view back towards Sandton from ridge line
Enjoyed the hike! Weather was perfect and it was just the right challenge. Would do it again
Trails is recommended for Beginners and Families with young children. The trail is relatively flat with some easy obstacles. The trail is a split between grass fields and tree lines.
Great off leash dog walk
Gates open at 07h00 and be sure to bring cash along as their sign reads no cheques or credit cards. They do have a card machine but it wasn't online so I'm not sure if it'll work. I really enjoyed running this trail! Quite rocky and technical at times so took it slow over these parts. There were some flatter stretches as well where you can open up a bit. Overall I'd rate it a moderate trail and would like to return to try improve my time.
I definitely enjoyed this hike. Good elevation and technical most times, definitely need to keep your wits about you. I’m off to a three day and two night hike in the Berg soon and this was definitely good practice!
I enjoyed it. Will do it again
its quiet amazing and the scenery awesome
Great hike, so close to JHB - a great way to visit mama nature without needing to stay overnight. It's about 3.5hrs or 4 hrs to do the Bokmakierie trail - there's game to be seen as well!
