Thaba Trails

By Voets Toets Hiking

Mulbarton

Voets Toets Hiking travelled to Mulbarton, South of Johannesburg to visit the popular Thaba Trails with fellow hiking lovers.

There are 5, 10 and 25 km hiking trails on offer.

Beginner

Easy to moderate, well-marked and maintained trail.

Merrell shoes, walking stick (recommended), adequate water, sunscreen, hat and snacks.

Route:

We completed the 10 km route and rated it as easy to moderate. The trail took us up and over the mountain into a very peaceful and quiet valley down below. It's a scenic hike with beautiful surroundings. Most of the trail was shady, as it took us through the woodlands of the reserve. It's a well-marked trail with well-maintained routes.

Field Notes:

The route was rocky with elevations at times, so a hiking stick is recommended. Adequate hydration on the longer route is essential and healthy snacks can be enjoyed at the picnic spot en route. Merrell shoes provided us with good support and stabilisation on the rocky sections of the trail. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat for sun protection.

This venue offers a wonderful break from the daily grind and bustle of city living, taking you into the peacefulness of nature. Give this trail a visit!
