Around Lions Head

There is a path that can be followed around Lions Head for a hike or run. The path starts at the normal point for a hike up Lions Head. From there runners/hikers can choose which way they would like to proceed around the mountain.

The total distance is a little about 5.5km and includes some steep hills. Some portions of the route are too steep for most runners but large sections are easily runnable. Because the route passes around the mountain there are excellent views to be had including Table Mountain, Sea Point and the City Bowl.

• If you are running be aware that there are some pretty steep sections on this route
• Keep on the uphill junctions of the path as you move along near the houses in Fresnaye. The path sticks in the forest along the top of the suburb. At one point it looks like the path is closed by some poles - keep on that section of the path.
