Activities

Walking - Many of the walks provided by the Limietberg Nature Reserve start at the top of the Bain's Kloof pass. Permits are available from the Wellington Information office or at the top of the pass. The walks range from short ambles to full day hikes and are well worth the effort as the views from the top of the pass are spectacular!

Mountain Biking - Starting from an altitude of 350m above sea level, the ride to the top of the pass will hardly raise a sweat! On your return trip you can veer off onto the forestry roads and enjoy some really awesome down hill riding along the banks of the local stream! The ride is fairly easy so can be enjoyed by even the moderately fit!
