The Purple Cow
Thornhill
By Suzanna Pautz - Take A Walk Hiking Club
3 Rivers Trails is one of the largest trail networks in South Africa. There are many options for mountain biking, trail running and hiking. Our group enjoys hiking at 3Rivers as the trails are well maintained and well-marked. We hiked the Purple Cow trail, which is 10km.
All trails start from Crossways Country Kitchen. Our route follows a farm road past grazing cows and green meadows. Some switchbacks take us up to the high point on top of a hill with views over the pasture and dam below. The route back goes through the forest on a pine-lined path called Puttergill Lane.
The route has 130m of elevation. This trail is shared by cyclists, so be sure to listen out for their bells or shouts of ‘bike’! The cycle track is gravel or sand in places, so shoes with good traction will be beneficial.
