The Cobra Half
Serious. Steep. Rewarding.
21 km
You start at Beau Constantia, high on Constantia Nek, where the mountain exhales and the vineyards beckon. First up into Eagles Nest, where a guitar plays at the gate, and back through Constantia Glen. Then the dance with Vlakkenberg: rolling, winding, steep enough to sting.
Then comes the Labyrinth. Down to Price Drive and into Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia and Buitenverwachting: centuries of history, trails that twist and turn. Each estate a chapter, each vineyard row a line written in soil and sweat.
Just when it feels endless, the finish opens ahead at Constantia Uitsig, where all distances collide.
