1. Pipe Track
Hike time: Allow 2-4 hours
This mostly-flat out-and-back route dishes up stellar mountain and ocean views. From the parking area at Kloof Nek, the path follows a track laid in 1887 for pipes that still today carry drinking water from mountaintop dams to the city’s reservoirs.
The Pipe Track runs below the famous row of buttresses known as the Twelve Apostles, with occasional benches offering views across the upscale suburbs and perfect beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton. Follow the signs to Kasteelspoort if you’re planning a longer route to the top of Table Mountain. Or, simply walk as far as you fancy, then turn around and return to the starting point. Take it easy and enjoy the view.
