New adventure found! Love that there is a picnic area right by the trail. This is perfect for those that aren't at the level for technical terrain but enjoy the outdoors.

Great short hike from Meulwater Botanical Garden. The circular path is hard to find and starts just up the hill from the toilets in the braai area. Look for the white foot print marker on the rock. The route goes up the rock face incline to Paarl rock then right along the dirt track over to Gordon's Rock (the biggest rock!) follow the boardwalk onto the rock and up the chains, steep but easy. Amazing view from top. Head back down same way but follow dirt track all the way back down. Just before the ranger hut and barrier there is a small track right, (can see on google satellite) nip in here and under the fence and meander back down the paths through the Botanical Gardens. Huge king protea in flower when we were there.

Wonderful hike with exceptional views overlooking Paarl and we could even see Table mountain in the distance. It is a relatively easy climb/walk although their are a few steep hills. Although we had a map the routes however were very poorly marked and most of the time we had to find are way.

You can drive up to Bretagne Rock and do hike up to the top. Nice view's.

Definitely worth a visit. Spectacular views on a clear day, all the way to table mountain and then perfect 360 degree views all round of the Paarl valley and the mountains that sorround the valley. 2nd largest outcrop of granite globally, only surpassed by Yosemite Valley in California.
