Heidelberg

By Voets Toets Hiking

On a scorching spring day, Voets Toets Hiking ventured off to Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve in Heidelberg for a day of exploring .

Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve routes

The reserve has 2 trail options : The Bokmakierie trail (10-11.5km) and the Cheetah trail (4.5km).

We completed the 11.5km Bokmakierie trail. It's a challenging trail where your cardio and muscle strength is tested. It has numerous elevations which are not technical in nature, but does require a good level of fitness. The trail is well-marked. It has rocky sections en route which requires good balance and navigation skills.

Going into summer it is essential that you have enough hydration/electrolyte drinks for your hike. We would recommend at least 3L for the Bokmakierie trail. Energy snacks and a wet towel/cloth to cool down your body temperature is recommended. Due to the rocky sections, a walking stick and Merrell shoes will ease your journey.
