The Dirtopia Trail Centre is located at Delvera, a wine estate and farm, near Stellenbosch. The mapped area includes the easy trails through vineyards and the single track trails across the rugged and rocky Klapmutskop.
There are 3 biking routes signposted by the Dirtopia Trail Centre and graded to cater for all abilities. The routes are marked clearly on the map and described in detail in the guide. Confident mountain bikers will head straight for the technical single track on the black route. Less confident mountain bikers and hikers will take the more gentle Green Vineyard Route and enjoy a terrific day out in this special area.

Green. The Vineyard Trail, 7km, 1hr bike or 2hr hike. Easy straight forward biking and hiking route suitable for all.
Head out of Delvera farm between the buildings on the west side and descend to the lake. Follow around to the left then left again past some houses. The Blue Route splits to the right; for the Green Route take the left fork. Now follow the trail through the vineyards and climb slowly towards Klapmutskop. At about 2.5km cross over the track and join a small track heading northwest for a short distance where it then joins with the Blue Route. Turn right and meander up the trail on single track back to a main track. Turn left and right and climb the short sharp hill to the Pepper Tree. This is a great spot to seek shade and take a breather.
Now continue east and at the next junction take the small single track (half right). Follow the edge of the wood and turn right and right again in the vineyards. The trail soon comes to the Poplar Forest where there is some great technical north shore, but also a chicken run for the less daring or the inexperienced. Once out of the forest follow the trail through the vineyards and back past the lake to Delvera and the Dirtopia Centre. Enjoy some well earned refreshments at either the shop or the restaurant.
Blue Route – Porcupine Trail. 15km 2hrs bike. Technically and physically intermediate to hard. This is a great mountain bike ride, with half of the route on high quality single track.
Follow the Green Route out of the centre and take the right fork at the split as described above. Now climb steadily through the vineyards and along the edge of some small wooded areas to the base of Klapmutskop……
