Dear hiking fans did you know that Capetown even has his own hiling paradise? Firstly there is the Table Mountain Secondly there is the Cape were you can hike through the finbos and last but not least there is Stellenbosch with it's vineyards.
We started early in the morning. It took us half a day to walk up, exploring the top and going back to the backpacker. For us it wasn't to strenous.
There are other routes that take much longer we were told.
The most beautiful route must take you from Table Mountain to the Cape Point. It takes you 5 days.
Need some relaxation after hiking? No worries. Just go to Kirstesnbosch. It's the botanical garden in Capetown. It lies on the foot of Table Mountain. The land was donated by Cecil Rhodes, the mining magnate and Prime Minister of the Cape, after his death in 1902 the State. Rhodes bought this area in 1895 to protect it from being settled. In summer there are free concerts of great national and international bands. You just pay the entrance to the gardens and have fun. Usually the concerts are sunday round noon. So don't forget to take some snacks and beverages with you.

| Table Mountain |
Don't take the cableway to the top of Table Mountain. There are several hiking routes to the top. And I can tell you it's really worth to walk up there. The magnificent view on the Table Bay other hikers and the lush vegetation will help you to climb up this huge steps. Just drive up to the cableway station were the paths start. You will walk through a canyon before you arrive on the top. If you are still full of energy why don't you turn to your left. The Table Mountain to me is actually like to mountains. There is the smaller part on where the station and all the touristic things are and the bigger part with it's lovely paths.
