Hiking

Location:  Riebeek Valley
Note:  These routes are mere suggestions.  Do NOT undertake any hike or route without checking with our tourism office FIRST, as things change all the time.
Header for main page
The Riebeek Valley hiking trails will be operational again this Spring. All efforts to have the trails available soonest are currently in progress.
Disclaimer of Liability 
All persons entering the hiking areas and using the various facilities, do so entirely at their own risk. Riebeek Valley Information and Riebeek Valley Tourism and/or their employees and/or agents and/or its successors in title shall not be liable for any damage, loss, theft, injury, accident or death suffered by any person, howsoever caused. 

C O N D I T I O N S 
  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!
