Here Are A Couple Of Pleasurable Things To Do In The Cederberg
Did you know that the Cederberg is not only for hiking enthusiasts, although there are some terrific trails and walks on offer? Take your family along for a fun-filled family break.
• For those who are interested in all things historical, the residents of Wupperthal have been growing their own rooibos tea and have been making velskoens since the days of the first settlers in 1865. This quaint little hamlet boasts a thriving and eco-friendly economy and hiring out cottages and offering the kind of hospitality that only South Africans are renowned for at the little “Lekkerbekkie” tearoom, is generously shared.
• The Cederberg Astronomical Observatory offers a star-spangled heaven for the stargazer enthusiast. The observatory is open from 8pm on Saturday nights, and is free of charge. When last did you spend a Saturday night gazing at the heavens?
• Swimming in Maalgat is a scintillating summer experience and brain-freezing in the winter months. The fresh waters of Maalgat are simply one the most wonderful in the valley and a short walk from the Sanddrif campsite. Admire the waterfalls, or partake in swimming. Whichever one tickles you it is a worthwhile experience.
• For the lovers of mountain biking this is activity is not allowed in the Cederberg wilderness areas, but there are a couple of excellent off-road options to enjoy.
• The Cederberg is well-known for its stunning San rock art on the walls of numerous caves dating back 300 to 6000 years.
In the Cederberg one is aware of the vividly coloured towering walls of rock whose layers are sometimes vertical like the pages of a book standing upright, sometimes parallel and often marvelously folded like a blanked. The Cederberg offers the visitor a little bit of everything. This is certainly a place among places, where the magic trickles deep into your soul.
