Nature preserve

👍 Small níce reserve along the R 27 north of Bloubergstrand. Close to Big Bay beach, 🌊🌊🏞️ a more natural beach than the popular Bloubergstrand Beach.

Wolfgat Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

😠 Don’t stop there! This area is a very dangerous place! Across the street is a township and criminal people (which you can not see in the dunes) are watching you stoping in this area (parking zones and view points) enjoying this beautiful place. We have been robbed with knifes. So, be careful!

Koeberg Nature Reserve

😐 This was a fun chill ride in the past especially to take newbies there, however its been closed for so long. Is there no way to reassess and look at re opening. Surely nature lovers and cyclists will have no impact on any repairs being carried out.
