A day for a perfect hiking
MELVILLE – Time to visit the Melville Koppies for good hiking.
Grey days might be putting a damper on your spirits, but it is perfect weather for hiking Melville Koppies’ trails. Visitors can choose from a 5km trail, a 3km heritage trail or just self-guide yourselves along the numerous paths that criss-cross the 55 hectare nature reserve and heritage site.
Melville Koppies volunteer Jenny Grice encourages people to visit the area.
Visitors can visit the Melville Koppies Central (Nature Reserve and Heritage Site) every Sunday from 8:00 to 11:30. On December 26 it will be closed.
“No need to pre-book. Adults R80, children R40; season ticket for a year per adult – R500 (not transferable). Security on the Koppies is provided, park in secure parking opposite the entrance at Marks Park in Judith Road, Emmarentia,” said Grice.
