Oudtshoorn Attractions & Activities
SWARTBERG MOUNTAIN RANGE
The Swartberg mountains make
up a mountain range that runs roughly east-west along the
northern edge of the semi-arid area called the Little Karoo
in the Western Cape province of South Africa. To the north
of the range lies the other large semi-arid area in South
Africa, the Great Karoo.
There are several passes through the Swartberg Range, the
most famous of which is possibly the Swartberg Pass that
runs between Oudtshoorn in the south and Prince Albert in
the north. The pass is not tarred and can be a little
treacherous after rain, but offers spectacular views over
the Little Karoo and the Great Karoo to the north.
Much of the Swartberg is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
