This is a very nice trail to walk. Not a lot of uphill at the beginning. Nice views along the way. Plenty of stones to walk over so wear comfortable non slip shoes. Some narrow roads. You will enjoying walking this trail.

One of the most popular beginner hiking tracks around Cape Town so an early start is recommended if you dont want to meet lots of hikers and runners. Great views of Camps Bay side. Not my favourite though because the track is rocky underfoot most of the way. Where the fork splits I recommend taking the upper path. It actually isn't more difficult than the lower one, and the views are more spectacular.

You’ll need good shoes, but it’s a fairly chilled walk. You don’t need to be super fit or anything.

Beautiful views.

Stunning views of lions head, camps bay, trees and coastline. Beautiful fynbos and mountain above. Mostly level walk.

The Pipetrack is an easy hike / trail run that's populated on weekends with families, trail runners and dog owners. If you are keen to work up a sweat, there are about 3 or 4 routes up to Table Mountain from the Pipetrack. Kasteelpoort is probably the most popular. I enjoy Wood Ravine which is found almost at the very end of the Pipetrack. Woody Ravine takes you to the Diving Board. The pipetrack during summer remains mostly in the shade until about 10am. An easy stroll takes us about an hour and 15min to the end of the track.

A very cool, chilled walk above Camps Bay. You can take your dogs. Mainly walking. Well maintained, good for all ages.
