Constantia Nek
- 4.9 out of 5 on Google (63 reviews)
The saddle between Constantia and Hout Bay, where the Table Mountain trails begin and the valley falls away behind you.
Why it’s worth it
The Nek is a high pass rather than a destination in itself, and that is its appeal. You park near the top, pick a path onto the mountain's southern slopes, and within minutes the road noise drops and the view opens over the Constantia valley one way and towards the Atlantic side the other. It suits a short leg-stretch before a wine lunch just below, or a proper morning on foot.
Highlights
- Trailheads onto the Table Mountain range
- Views over the Constantia valley
