This latest edition of the Slingsby Cederberg Touring Map now extends northwards to the Hantam and Knersvlakte flower-fields – Vanrhynsdorp, Nieuwoudtville, Loeriesfontein and Calvinia.
After compiling extensive field research, we drove nearly every road and track. Along the way, we spoke with locals—farmers, researchers, and adventurers—gathering insights that make this map an essential, detailed companion for exploring the area.
Side One: Cederberg Highlights
