Disclaimer of Liability 
All persons entering the hiking areas and using the various facilities, do so entirely at their own risk.

1. A permit for each hiker must be carried on the trail at all times. Sign in at the start of the walk, and sign out when complete. Notify someone of your route and when you expect to be back. 
2. Permits may be obtained from Riebeek Valley Tourism, Riebeek Kasteel, during their opening times.  Tel:  022 448 1545.
3. Do not approach any of the wildlife, especially the baboons, and especially do not feed them or leave food lying around – they are still in their natural state and respect humans as superiors. Feeding them will change this. 
4. No smoking and under no circumstances light a fire. 
5. Cliché as it might sound, take nothing but photographs. Some of the vegetation on Kasteelberg is endemic to this mountain and any disturbance could endanger its survival. 
6. If you encounter any of the San art or other historical features respect them; they are of cultural importance, and the San sites reflect spiritual places for these people. They are also protected by law. 
7. In an emergency there is good cell phone reception on most (not all) of the mountain. The number for the local police is 022-461 8100. 
8. Enjoy the hike!
