About this Route

The signature Bloemfontein road cycling loop anchored by the Naval Hill Nature Reserve — the flat-topped koppie that dominates the city skyline. The route climbs Naval Hill via Hamilton Road for panoramic 360° city views, then descends through Universitas before looping via the N1 service road, Fleurdal and Churchill Estate. A compact, punchy loop beloved by Bloem road clubs for morning intervals. The Hill's free-roaming game (zebra, eland, springbok) are visible from the road summit.
