At the moment we have 5 different tracks to offer for MTB and hiking. They are from 12 to 24km long and are severity graded from easy to moderate with some difficult sections. It is also possible to combine the trails like the Northern Dam Trail or the 5 Dams Trail with 42km.
Along the tracks you can see different types of landscape and the matching game, some of our dams and our livestock like horses and Bonsamara cattles.
Grading MTB Trails
On Farm Claratal most tracks are not real single tracks, mostly more ore less used farm tracks. But we want to keep to this standard grading model to give you an idea.
We are always busy maintaining the tracks, but especially in the rainy season we sometimes have corrugation, broken trees etc. If you notice something severe, please forward the information to us.
(subject to changes as we develop new trails)
