Trail Decision Tree

​Holiday decisions are so difficult…what to eat, what wine to drink, where to nap? And most importantly, what trail do I ride today. To help you with this decision, we have worked with the GVB conservancy to develop a Trail Decision Tree that will guide you through that very challenging question. Based on simple questions about what bike you ride, what the weather is like,how fit you are and how important coffee is, we created a simple way to select the right trail experience for your stay. The trails include some in the Greater Grootvadserbosch area (including Barrydale and Swellendam) so you will need a good few days to try them all out.

The Ultimate Trail Decision Tree for Your Strawberry Hill Stay

Every mountain biker knows the struggle of making the perfect choice, especially when surrounded by beautiful landscapes and an array of trail options with limited time. But don’t worry! To make your decision-making a whole lot easier (and more fun!), we’ve teamed up with the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy to bring you the Trail Decision Tree.
This handy guide takes you through a series of simple questions to help you select the best trail for your adventure. Whether you’re a beginner on a cross-country bike, an expert on a full-suspension rig, or simply someone who values a good coffee break, we’ve got you covered. And since Grootvadersbosch offers a variety of terrain and experiences, you’ll need a few days to fully explore everything the region has to offer.

Here’s How It Works:

Answer a few quick questions, and our Trail Decision Tree will point you toward the perfect route. It’s based on your bike type, fitness level, the weather, and of course, how important coffee is to you (we all know a good cup of joe can make or break a ride). The trails we recommend include some of the best routes in the Greater Grootvadersbosch area and trails only available to Strawberry Hill Guests.
Some of the Key Trail

1. What bike do you ride? Whether you’re on a hardtail, a full-suspension mountain bike, or an e-bike, the right trail depends on your gear. We’ll help you match your bike with the best terrain for an enjoyable ride.
2. What’s the weather like? The Grootvadersbosch area can change its mood quickly, so whether it’s sunny, rainy, or a bit overcast, we’ll recommend a trail that’s ideal for the current conditions.
3. How fit are you? Whether you’re looking for a light ride with scenic views or an intense, uphill challenge, your fitness level will help determine the most suitable trail. Don’t worry, we’ve got options for everyone.
4. How important is coffee to you? No ride is complete without a good caffeineor beer fix, right? If you value a well-earned break mid-ride, we’ll guide you to routes with scenic stops.

The Grootvadersbosch area offers so much variety, you’ll need several days to explore all the trails. The beauty of this region lies in its diversity — you can challenge yourself on more difficult routes or enjoy the serenity of less demanding paths.
