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. 

GET THE DETAILS

There are 2 more routes available close by: 
the Heidelberg Route and the Suurbraak Route.
​
There are also trails available on the
Marloth Nature Reserve in Swellendam,
and the Bontebok National Park,
just outside of Swellendam.
