The CEDERBERG, so other worldly and yet so easily accessible from Cape Town, weaves a particular magic. These mountains are unlike any others in South Africa. The geography can be confusing but with this map you can explore the secret kloofs, ethereal rock art and majestic mountains, experiencing the magic for yourself.
This latest edition of the map now extends northwards to the Hantam and Knersvlakte flower-fields – Vanrhynsdorp, Nieuwoudtville, Loeriesfontein and Calvinia.
Compiled from comprehensive field research – we have driven just about every road and track – this map is an essential companion to any exploration of the area. The conversations we have had with local people – farmers, shepherds, leopard researchers, archaeologists, rock art experts, botanists, climbers and hikers – have given us knowledge and insight into every aspect of this wonderful area. That’s why this map is packed with information and detail.
This is the only detailed tourist map of the Cederberg.
Water and tear resistant in plastic sleeve.
Side one of this double-sided map covers the whole of the Cederberg, from Gifberg in the north to Op die Berg in the south, and includes the towns of Clanwilliam, Citrusdal, Piketberg, Wupperthal, Porterville and Eendekuil.
Side two is an extension of the map northwards to Loeriesfontein, and including Nieuwoudtville, Calvinia, Klawer, and Vanrhynsdorp. The level of detail is the same as Side One but the scale is slightly reduced to enable the map to offer a full sweep of country, from the Knersvlakte to the Hantam and Roggeveld. This is the heart of South Africa’s spring flower wonderland.
