There are three well-marked walking trails at the top, catering to different fitness levels and interests: • Dassie Walk – A gentle stroll with excellent viewpoints. • Agnas Path – A slightly longer route with amazing city views. • Klantzkloof Trail – For the more adventurous, leading towards the back of the mountain.
