Wildekrans Routes
Wildekrans Wine Estate situated between the leafy scenery of Botrivier and the sunny beaches of Hermanus sports a vineyard overlooking Walker Bay. This picturesque 1000-hectare estate tucked away in the beautiful Bot River Valley should be on your next MTB weekend plan.
The trail park, which opened on the 14th of November 2015 boasts one main 24 km trail with optional loops, the obligatory scary bits full of bridges, skywalks and A-frames, a few chicken runs and plenty of awesome single-track. Strap yourself in for the whooping “Se A” downhill onto an A-frame, the intrepid ‘007’ and of course, Tim se Bult. All your efforts will be amply rewarded by magnificent views and serious MTB fun.
