The agricultural town of Heidelberg is regarded as the gateway to the Garden Route and during your sojourn you will no doubt experience “platteland” lifestyle at its best – with slow organic cooking, long chats and leisurely exploration of the quaint art and craft shops, antique stores, colourful murals and coffee shops.
Nature lovers can immerse themselves in the incredible fynbos, Afromontane forest and renosterveld landscapes while enjoying a guided walk, birding, and an array of hiking and mountain biking trails at Grootvadersbosch Conservancy. For travellers with a deep affection for history and architecture, the popular Heidelberg Historical Walking Route is an experience which should be top of your bucket list. This route includes incredible historical gems like the Dutch Reformed Church, Heidelberg Town Hall, Heidelberg Post Office and the Doornboom Homestead / Fourie House, which dates back to 1728.
