MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS 

STRAWBERRY HILL FARM IS SURROUNDED BY A 120KM-NETWORK OF MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS WHICH FORM PART OF THE GROOTVADERSBOSCH CONSERVANCY TRAILS. 

You can choose from 4 different routes – each with a varying degree of technical difficulty. Most of the trail network consists of singletrack or rough farm track. The trails are what we call "real mountain biking" - fun but challenging. All the tracks are available to download here (kml and gpx). .

GET THE DETAILS

There are 2 more routes available close by: 
the Heidelberg Route and the Suurbraak Route. Unfortunately, these routes are closed at the moment.
​
However, we highly recommend the trails available in Swellendam,
and the Bontebok National Park,
just outside of Swellendam. 

BOOK YOUR RIDE

We can provide you with a permit when you visit. Or you can buy a day permit from the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy Office (situated on Strawberry Hill Farm) for R60.
