Buffelspoort MTB Route in Ladismith, Western Cape (original) (raw)

This beautiful route offers rugged, steep and challenging surfaces. The trail is rather difficult and can be done as a circular route or a return with the distances varying from 7.2 kilometers to 30 kilometers.

This should take around 1-4 hours to complete. The start is at the Buffelspoort Mountain range, from here you can either tackle the Buffelspoort Gorge or the Touwsbergveld.

Either way the terrain is incredibly varied, temperatures are extreme and the trail is taxing. If you keen for a challenge then this will certainly have what you are looking for.
