Dassieskasteel Traverse in Silvermine on Ou Kaapse Weg.
We took the little detour to the waterfall, but alas, there was only a water-trickly. Still very beautiful with views overlooking the Noordhoek / Kommetjie side.
The route then circles around to the top of Ou Kaaps where you can overlook the Southern Suburbs and Constantia areas. The path follows around just above the Ou Kaaps road and then swings back to the car park.
The short hike took us 2 hours to complete and is about 6 km's long. (Although we kept the pace up quite a lot and according to this very informative website, it can take 5 hours to complete)
There is also an option to veer off and walk towards Muizenberg / Bouyes Drive. But on this occasion we were too hungry for steak and Peroni's at Flukes Restaurant to add on another few hours' hike, so we cut it short and headed out for some relaxing!
We will have to back back and do that one at some point!
The routes are very well marked in all directions so no worries about getting lost here. Also the 180 degree views all the way around allow you to judge where you are.
