Cradle Moon: Green Trail is a 5.1 mile loop trail located near Zwartkop, Gauteng, South Africa that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and mountain biking.
I went trail running and chose the green route which is the hiking trail as well. wow the scenery and paths were amazing but be warned when you run a trail made for hiking it is not smooth going - it is hard work. This is no walk in the park. The mountain bike trails although longer may be a faster run. I will be back to do the other trails.
The trail is well marked and has great textured variety. Walking in bushveld & forrest areas with some beautiful views of the dam and surrounding areas. We also enjoyed a variety of wildlife. The venue and facilities were amazing. The criticism is however the number of people on the trail. It was overcrowded and thus unpleasant. With the number of people the litter and noise was not desirable. I will come back, however avoid weekends & public holidays
