Features:
How many close-in suburbs of cities are also referred to as a wine-producing region? This area south of Cape Town and just west of Table Mountains boasts numerous wineries, as a wonderful greenbelt consisting of nine different trails. The most popular of these, and the best for running, is the Alphen Trail. The tree-lined trail, accessible from Alphen Drive, runs along the Diep River (stay west of Peter Cloete Ave.) and is a combination wooded and open. It is about 2 km along the river, ending near the connection with the Klaasenbosch Greenbelt Trail. Parkrun map
