Leeuwenkloof Trails

Leeuwenkloof is a technical trail destination north of Pretoria with a strong reputation among Gauteng’s advanced riding community for its demanding rocky singletrack and steep descent character. The trail network is less formally established than venues like Groenkloof or Thaba, but the technical quality is consistently rated highly by riders who prioritise challenge over infrastructure.

The Trails

The 15km main loop delivers what advanced riders come to Leeuwenkloof for: sustained technical rocky sections from the first descent, loose shale climbs that demand traction management and climbing technique, and the kind of trail design that keeps concentration levels high throughout. The steep descent sections are the highlight — genuinely committing terrain that rewards skill and punishes inattention. Riders seeking a skills workout rather than a scenic cruise will find Leeuwenkloof one of the most satisfying informal trail networks accessible from Pretoria.
