Faerie Glen Nature Reserve, Protected nature reserve in Pretoria, South Africa.
The 128-hectare reserve contains three marked hiking trails stretching across grasslands and bushveld, reaching heights of 1,468 meters at Renosterkop peak.
In 1980, the City of Tshwane established this conservation area on former farmland that belonged to H. W. Struben of Hartbeespoort 304.
The reserve incorporates sections of the Moreleta Spruit Nature Trail, where visitors can observe South Africa's national flower, the Protea, in natural settings.
The reserve operates daily from 06:00 to 18:00, with entrance fees of R15 for adults and R6 for seniors, while seasonal tickets range from R165 to R200.
The area features geological formations of Andesitic basalt from the early Proterozoic era, formed over 2 billion years ago through significant tectonic activity.
