ibruegge Posted September 23, 2013 Share Went yesterday, my boy in the trailer. Must have been raining a little the days before: we pedaled through puddles so deep my son's trailer was flooded... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted March 14, 2014 Share A heads up for those planning to ride at Koeberg: Due to operational reasons, no visitors will be allowed access to the Koeberg Visitors Centre, Koeberg Nature Reserve, and hiking/cycling trails from 17:00 on Friday, 14 March 2014, until Monday, 24 March 2014.

gofaster Posted March 14, 2014 Share is there specific times for entry? 6h in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flymango Posted April 2, 2014 Share is there specific times for entry? 6h in the morning? Maybe a bit late in replying, but entry only after first light, and not after sunset. So varies depending on the time of the year. Depending on the guard on duty, you might have to actually wait for sunrise. Not ideal between March and September for early rides.

Ferro Posted September 11, 2017 Share Went to the nature reserve for a walk with the kids this weekend. The first time we have ever been there. Saw a MOERSE snake just off from the car park. It got a bit hot out yesterday so we only walked to the first picnic like spot, where the waterhole is. Anyway, it was a fun outing and i would really like to go back and take the bikes this time. Can anyone provide some more info on the bike routes: Distance? Are there marked trails? Are there picnic areas further out? Will we get to see the sea?

Can anyone provide some more info on the bike routes: Distance? Are there marked trails? Are there picnic areas further out? Will we get to see the sea?From the car park, the route is about 22-24km, full loop and if you follow all the correct boards. The route is marked and yes, once you get to the dams, you will see the sea. Its a very easy ride with a few options of cutting the ride short, should you want to turn back earlier. There is a thatched lapa close to one of the gates on the N7 that you can use for a picnic, alternatively the area at the dams by the bird hide will also work. Just Dont use the Jan se Gat lapa unless you want security on your case within minutes. Ferro and flymango 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is also a shorter option to see the sea, if you head west (towards the beach) at the sign-posted four way crossing.

Ratty Posted September 11, 2017 Share And there is also a shorter option to see the sea, if you head west (towards the beach) at the sign-posted four way crossing. Think that one is +- 7kms. Ferro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
