Witfontein
The Witfontein Route System start and finishes at the Cape Nature offices northwest of George. All the routes in this system were mapped for mountain biking specifically but can also be used for trail running. All the routes meander through the Witfontein pine plantation with sections of indigenous forest and fynbos. There are many single track sections to be found between the contour roads. The Tower Loop and Sidewinder loops offer excellent views over George and of the Outeniqua mountains.
