This is a lovely loop along the Van Gaalen River Trail, just under an hour from Pretoria. The trail is long but well-maintained and relatively flat. Hikers might have to share the path with runners and bicycles. The views on the river and the surrounding farms are quaint and serene. There are numerous birds flying around, making the hike a great place for birdwatching.
