The Cederberg
mountains are a feast to the imagination.
We take a 3 day
trip to these amazing mountains. Camping or by Chalets
We are going to
visit awesome rock formations and enjoy the peace and
tranquillity of the landscape. A mere 2 hr Drive from Cape
Town, it is a place to enjoy walking and hiking.
These Mountain are
named after the unique CEDER trees which are an endangered
specie and they only grow on the tops of these mountain
range.
We will visit the
amazing rock formations of the Stad Saal and it's
Rock Paintings dating more than 20000 years old.
We take a
fantastic Hike up to the Wolfang Cracks where we go
into the earth's openings and get into a misterious looking
rock landscape.
We also take a hike up to the giant Maltese Cross
which stands on top of these rugged but beautiful Mountains.
All these are
easy walks with fantastic Scenery for you to enjoy the piece
and tranquility of this "away from it all place".
Ceder tree
and Ceder seed pods. Endangered Specie indigenous only to
these mountains.
Lets
begin by travelling pass Algeria into the heart of the
mountains.
We start the visit with the Stad Saal
where wind erosion has done its thing!
The
landscape offer unequal views to your soul.
We
then go back in time and visit some Bushmen Paintings
dated more than 20000 years old.
The Stad Saal!!
Lets go up Maltese Cross.
We
take a hike up to the top of the mountain where we get to
a rock with a unique shape.
Ok
so we are now impressed with all these rocks, but you have
not seen anything yet. Now we take a hike up the mountains
again and we visit the world of the Wolfberg Cracks.
We take a rest under the rocks while we
go up.
The view from the top is fantastic.
I
have no words for this!!
We
then enter the cracks and a new world unfolds!!
Inside the magic of the Cracks one feels
as if you are in another planet.
We carry on along
the cracks towards the opening at the top, but this is no
easy trip. You have to crawl, walk through boulders and
climb up small crevices.
