Spitskop, Bokkop and the Jagger Walk, Silvermine Reservoir

Lace up your boots and join us for an unforgettable hike through the Silvermine Nature Reserve! This moderately challenging adventure is perfect for reasonably fit hikers and will take you to the summits of both Bokkop and Spitskop, where breathtaking views await. Along the way, you’ll discover the historic Jagger Walk Memorial, wander through valleys rich with fynbos, and eventually enjoy a tranquil stroll around the Silvermine Dam.
The Jagger Walk Memorial in Silvermine Nature Reserve commemorates Sir John William Jagger, who played a key role in conserving the Cape’s natural heritage. It is located along the Jagger Walk trail near Silvermine Dam.

Hike details:

• 12 km cicular grade 2B trail with an total elevation of 340 meters.
• Intermediate hike, requiring good fitness following accesible paths.
• Trail consists of loose sandy paths, stony and sometimes rocky sections.
• Bring proper hiking shoes and hiking sticks.

Basic agenda:
Beginning at the parking area inside Silvermine Nature Reserve, near the entrance gate, we set out along the Old Wagon Trail, descending southward until it meets a footpath leading to Bokkop. A short scramble brings us to the summit, after which we return to the Old Wagon Trail and continue toward another path that winds toward Spitskop. This trail meanders through a valley rich with fynbos, eventually reaching an intersection. A gentle climb leads us to Spitskop, where sweeping views stretch across Noordhoek, Cape Point Vineyards, and the distant coastline.
After pausing to enjoy the panorama, we retrace our steps along the familiar path before pressing further into the elevated valley, now framed by smaller peaks such as Noordhoek Lower Peak, Falcon Peak, and Baboon Peak. Eventually, the route joins a gravel path that descends toward Silvermine Dam. Here, we circle the water’s edge before concluding the hike with a tranquil return along the Silvermine Riverwalk to the car park.
