Enjoy a mellow walk in the exotic Klaasenbosch and add a meander in the lower Kirstenbosch

Constantia is also dubbed the Green Belt because of the lush greenery and an array of trails and walks, many of which are dog friendly. Klaasenbosch is one of the trails on this Green Belt where you walk under a canopy of trees, along the Cecilia Stream where you’ll find the exotic Australian tree ferns on the water’s edge.  The trail has several starting points, but we choose to start on Hohenhort Avenue, just opposite the top section of the Alphen Trail. There is a signboard that marks the start of the trail. Follow the sandy trail as it winds up and stick to the left path along the stream. Look out for the Arum lillies which are currently in bloom and growing in abundance in the area.  You will go up a small incline and descend into an amazing unspoilt, natural garden. This trail is bicycle-free but popular with trail runners, dog walkers and horse riders.   There are plenty of places for your pooch to frolic in the water and cool down all along your walk. There is a contour path so
