Kluitjieskraal Route
Kluitjieskraal Route is a challenging mountain biking route consisting mainly of gravel road, with arduous climbs along loose shale and rock. Hectic downhill hairpins mean you need to keep your wits about you, but wonderful views and a spectacular waterfall are sure to keep you coming back for more. The route starts along a fairly flat section through pine plantations, before the 6 km climb to Watervalberg with splendid views over the Wolseley Valley.
After the summit, descend into the Suurbraak Valley along a speedy, flat section of gravel. Before the road ends, turn right to once again cross the Watervalberg. The climb is rocky and technical, so make friends with your granny gear. Cross the river above the waterfall and bomb the contour path through the plantations for a speedy home run.
