Now is the time for Summer hiking
Come and test your fitness in a brisk hike on Melville Koppies.
Book your guide, call 079 532 0083 or email wendavid@mweb.co.za for your group and set the pace that you want.
Or join a guided tour that leaves at 08:30 every Sunday and tells you about the history, the geology, the plants and much more. Or you can self-guide along the heritage trail, the 5km trail or meander along the many paths that crisscross the Koppies.
With all the recent rains the vegetation is bursting with vigour even the sections that were burnt more than a month ago.
Melville Koppies is open on Sundays from 08:00 until 11:30.
The cost is R80 for adults, and R40 for children and a season ticket for a year per adult are available at R500 (not transferable).
Income is used for the maintenance of the Koppies. Security on the Koppies is provided. Park in secure parking opposite the entrance at Marks Park on Judith Road, Emmarentia.
Contact wendavid@mweb.co.za or call 079 532 0083 or visit www.mk.org.za for more detailed information about the history and what you can see on Facebook.
