Time to step up for a hike at Melville Koppies
Open every Sunday morning from 08:00 to 11:30, there’s a 5km hike that will get your heart pumping as it takes you down to the river, back up to the ridge with magnificent views and then back down to the river and up again to the top of the ridge.
In just more than a month, most will be winding down for the festive season for a well-deserved break.

Now is the time to get fit for the holiday season. There’s no need to travel for hours.
Right on your doorstep is Melville Koppies Nature Reserve and Heritage Site.
Open every Sunday morning from 08:00 to 11:30, there’s a 5km hike that will get your heart pumping as it takes you down to the river, back up to the ridge with magnificent views and then back down to the river and up again to the top of the ridge.
For those who feel they might not be up for a 5km challenge, there is a 3km heritage trail which is more forgiving and tells you more about why Melville Koppies is a heritage site.

All income used for maintenance and security of the Koppies, which amounts to R22 000 per month.
