Description
This cycle trail offers plenty of opportunities to view the game that are resident in the Cape Point National Park, including Eland and Bontebok. The winding route is mostly along tar roads, which head from the entrance to the Cape of Good Hope Gate toward the Southern-most point of Africa at the Cape Point. The road passes beaches and rocky coast and is lined with fynbos, a protected flower biome, which is for the most part quite low and this allows for views from the edge of the Cape Peninsula along the entire route.
This trail has scenic beauty and is suited to road bikes
