Description

Take the scenic route up Table Mountain and experience Kasteelspoort beyond the usual trail. This is a longer, more immersive mountain adventure for those who want more than simply reaching the top. Climb through the dramatic cliffs and rugged landscapes of Kasteelspoort, with spectacular views unfolding over Camps Bay, the Atlantic, and Cape Town as you gain elevation.

Along the way, step beyond the standard route to discover some of the mountain’s lesser-known places, including a hidden cave and a dramatic viewpoint known as the Diving Board, where the scenery makes for some seriously memorable photographs.

Among the remnants of the old Kasteelspoort industrial cableway, uncover the story of the remarkable operation that once carried workers and heavy materials up the mountain during the construction of the reservoirs in the 1890s.

The route is strenuous but non-technical, with some light scrambling. It is a proper mountain hike that rewards persistence with increasingly spectacular scenery and a sense of adventure that you simply don't get from following the most obvious route to the top.
