This hiking trail is in the Magaliesberg Biosphere, 12 km south of Brits in the Northwest Province. The 7,5 km trail is well marked, and hiking difficulty is intermediate. There are shorter and easy loops as well. Trees, animals and places of interest are highlighted. Nature is unspoilt with spectacular views. An ideal opportunity to see evidence of the billions of years old inland lake, before the Magaliesberg formed! Experience all the diversity in fauna, flora, geology and history. Recently they started a Vulture Restaurant on a plateau on Skuilkoppie, where carcasses are left for these majestic birds. What a sight to see vultures coming down to feast!
