gave Silver Mine ReservoirA beautiful spot for a picnic or a leisurely walk on the wheelchair-accessible boardwalk, Table Mountain is the focal point of this part of the National Park. The waters of the reservoir are stained with tannin and despite signs prohibiting swimming, you will often find locals taking a dip here. Some of the best half-day hiking trails lead through the area to the mountains, named after the unsuccessful attempts by the Dutch to mine silver here in the late 17th century.

Peers Cave is an ancient burial site on the south-eastern edge of the reserve; A trail leads here from the marked parking lot on Ou Kaapse Weg. Declared a National Monument in 1941, the cave provides a dramatic view across Noordhoek to the sea and is well worth a visit.
