Tranquil Heidelberg, is such an awesome town, a place filled with history and friendly people. Heidelberg is located midway between Riversdale and Swellendam off the N1 National Road on the south coast of South Africe and is 276km's from Cape Town.
The town got it's name through German settlers arriving in South Africa in 1856, having the same name as the German city and established on the river banks of the Duiwenhoks River that flows from the Langeberg Mountains into the Indian Ocean. The town has an interesting history and there is an historical walking tour that can be easily followed.
There is a variety of Bed and Breakfast places as well as the old worlde charm of The Heidelberg Hotel.
I found a lovely place to stay 2 nights on the corner of Fourie Street, Aan De Kanal (On The Canal) owned by Cassie and Maret Koen, +27 028 722 1389 and cell 084 522 2350. Highly recommended, thank you Cassie and Maret for your awesome hospitality!
Join me as I take an early morning walk about in this lovely, quaint town.
