THE HEX TRAILS EXCLUSIVE
Klipheuwel Farm has always been our base of operation, not only do they have a huge farm house, two gorgeous luxury cottage and camping facilities; they also have amazing farm and mountain trails; built especially for The Hex Trails!! A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the building of these trails and we want to share our playground with trail and nature lovers. It is a great mix of farm dirt roads, challenging climbs, technical descents, soft river sand and cement strips. We have some amazing trails builders, who help us build, expand and maintain the Klipheuwel trails. In their honor we named our trails after them. Please keep in mind all routes are on private property and the necessary permission needs to be obtained for access to be granted. |
TAWARA TRAIL (Yellow Trail)
The Tawara trail is the most challenging of our trails and encapsulates all our other trails. . With two steep climbs you can expect this trail to take an average of 5 hours to hike (with regular photo breaks) and 3 - 4 hours for an average trail runner. The Tawara trail start and end at Klipheuwel Farm Venue. You can choose to do only sections of this trail. Despite the difficulty the views are worth the effort. Full Route: +/-17km - Elevation Gain: +/-900m |

SECTIONS
Dada Dash (Orange Trail): This 5km circle route can be a fast run for the experienced runner or a lovely stroll for the adventurous walker looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of city life. 3kms of dirt road and 2kms mountain single track ensures that this trail is accessible to all able bodied people. Kelebone Cattle Trail (Colour TBC): Easy 10km trail, with farm dirt roads, mountain single track, cement strips, sand and the possibility of spotting the beautiful, but aloof, Nguni cattle that call this "kloof" home, this trail is perfect of the less experienced runner, looking for a longer trail. Inspire and Admire (Colour TBC): If Technical Vert is your thing, this is the trail for you. After roughly 12kms and 500m elevation, you are rewarded with spectacular views of the valley that will definitely inspire you to tackle the Tawara trail next time. Mostly mountainous terrain. |
