Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve is your place to be for family-friendly hikes. Head out from Meulwater Botanical Garden, from where it’s just 2.7 kilometres of scenic, easy walking towards the iconic Paarl Rock. Or skip the sweat and drive most of the way, then walk the last few hundred metres for jaw-dropping views from the world’s second-largest monolithic rock. The reserve is open year-round, entry is free on weekdays, and route maps are sold at the main gate. A great outing for nature lovers, hikers and casual strollers looking for the perfect picture!
