I never knew this quarry even existed until reading about it on Do Stuff in Cape Town, which is funny because I live a short distance away and it's also pretty close to one of the mountain trails that I've been running lately.

The Vredehoek Quarry is a largely unknown site on lower Devils Peak above the suburb of Vredehoek. The fairly large and disused quarry can be accessed by an old tunnel and has developed a small and still lake at its center.

The quarry is popular as a site for rock climbers, and a good stop on the mountain biking and running tracks which surround it.
