Beautiful trail. Very clean and safe even for solo female walkers/runners. Fair bit of people on the trail and even some dogs and horses. Everyone very friendly. On Saturdays the Parkrun is held at 8am. Dose Coffee Project supplies great coffees here on Saturday mornings 🤩
It's a beautiful trail with loads of routes to chose from. I do wish people were more considerate with picking up after their pets but nonetheless it's a beautiful outdoor walk.
Pleasant trail along a stream and past expensive houses. Shaded woodland and a little climb to get up the mountain but not too difficult. Plenty of dog walkers, some not following the rules re dogs on leashes.
Lovely nature walk. If you are wanting to take your family or we'll behaved dog for a walk this trail is for you. In the morning a coffee truck is available, support the vendor selling dog bed accessories.
Very beautiful trail. Dog friendly. And very easy to walk and easy to follow. There is a little coffee car that sells delicious coffee and the staff is very friendly.
Beautiful, shaded walk along the river. Perfect for a quick escape into nature! For Dog Owners...my dog loved it... It’s a flat, easy stroll with plenty of shade and water for the dogs to splash in. It's a hidden gem in Constantia! Lush greenery and a peaceful atmosphere.
The Alphen Trail/Greenbelt is a bit of a hidden gem, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful and scenic outdoor experience.
