SaveThe Clarens Village Conservancy (CVC) incorporates the Clarens Nature Reserve as well as all communal properties in and around the village. The CVC curates an extensive network of beautiful trails in the village and in the Nature Reserve. The trails are open for hiking, running and mountain biking and dogs on leaches are allowed.
As a non-profit organisation (068-115 NPO), the CVC, in partnership with the Dihlabeng Municipality, maintains the Clarens Nature Reserve with donations, member fees and income from Clarens events.
The CVC employs rangers who maintain the hiking trails, bridges, remove invasive plant species, and see that nature conservation rules are adhered to.
The Clarens Village Conservancy routes offer a little bit of everything, such as bird watching, picnics at well shaded spots, taking a rest on a bench with a view, swimming in summer, but above all: beautiful mountain views.
The time and distance indicators will help you to plan your routes. Several routes can also be connected together for those who want to take longer walks or rides. Route descriptions are from one direction, but all routes can also be done in the reverse direction.
