This trail meanders though some of the well know wine farms of the area, including Twee Jonge Gezellen, Saronsberg, Theuniskraal and Themika.

Mostly gravel road, the locals have built some nice flowy single track sections and promise to add more to the offering in due course.

A mellow 18km loop, you may also be lucky enough to see the Zebra and Springbok on the beautiful Welbedaght nature reserve.

Please ride with caution as although the utmost is done to ensure the trail is in good condition, seasonal changes do affect the trail.

Please respect all the local farmers especially during the week, and a friendly greeting is always appreciated.

Please donate to the local Tulbagh MTB Club via SNAPSCAN if you ride these trails, so that there may be future development of the trail network in and around Tulbagh.

This loop may be joined from any of the farms.
