INTRO NO LONGER GETTING YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66? Then why not enjoy the unexpected pleasures of Route 62 as you travel through Paarl/Wellington, the Breede River, Klein Karoo, the Langkloof, the beaches of Jeffreys Bay, Port Elizabeth and Addo National Park. Route 62 meander through a thousand kilometers of mountains, fertile valleys, semi deserts and offers a shorter alternative to the N2 Highway. Route 62 prompts associations with the legendary Route 66, connecting the urban and rural communities between Los Angeles and Chicago. Route 66 was established in 1926 as one of America’s main east west arterial links providing small towns access to a major thoroughfare. Similarly Route 62 links the wine growing areas of Paarl, Wellington, Tulbagh, Ceres, the Breede River with the Klein Karoo, the ostrich farming of Oudtshoorn, the fruit farms of Joubertinia, Louterwater and Kareedouw and the legendary beaches of Jeffreys Bay. Coupled with the historic villages of Amalienstein and Zoar, the friendly city of Port Elizabeth and Addo National Park, where the interaction between humans and elephant are unsurpassable and you have the perfect tourist route. Ironically the public lobby for rapid mobility and improved highways that gained Route 66 enormous popularity in earlier decades, also signalled its demise in the mid 1950’s. Route 66 was replaced by other higways which caused a severe decrease in traffic. This greatly affected the economies of the smaller towns. With the completion of the N2 highway in 1958, Route 62 suffered the same fate. Although the villages along the route have been in hibernation for 40 years, they have been beutifully preserved and set in wealthy farming communities. Add incredible mountain passes built in the 18th Century, San Rock art, a steam train experience, spectacular drive through canyons and Route 62 ensures a fairy tale experience that legends and special memories are made of.

Ceres - Accommodation & Activities

Ceres

The Eden of the Cape Ceres is reached from the south by crossing the rugged Michellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pass, completed in 1848 by the famous road engineer Andrew Geddes Bain. Ceres is situated on a fertile plain surrounded by magnificent mountains and is one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important deciduous fruit growing centres. Visitors can enjoy farm tours, pick cherries in season, and taste locally produced fruit juices, home-made preserves and dried fruit. The Dwars River flowing through the centre of town eventually becomes the Breede River, which meanders down to the coast at Witsand enriching many R62 settlements on the way. Ceres has a thriving arts and crafts community and is home to the largest toy car collection in SA. San rock art can be appreciated at the famous Kagga Kamma private reserve and 4X4 enthusiasts have a number of options available to them. For the energetic there is horse and quad riding, abseiling, skydiving and hiking and accommodation is plentiful.

Barrydale Beautiful Barrydale...

Barrydale is unique, a special place to be visited all year round. Enclosed in a narrow valley at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains, this rural village still retains the timeless countryside charm where the heart of its people will welcome you – old-time residents and new-comers from over the world give special charm to Barrydale. Sunny days prevail for most of the year, with a little frost in winter – just enough for an invigorating early morning walk. For nature-lovers, Barryddale offers unsurpassed vistas of mountains and keen walkers have a wide choice of pathways and trails to follow across hills and through farmlands and orchards; for the more adventurous - climbs in the foothills of the Langeberg. The climate is a winemaker’s dream and excellent wines and brandy are produced. It also encourages the growth of export-quality decidious fruit – apricots, pears, peaches, plums and apples. In spring the blossoms of pink and white, and in autumn the vibrant golden leaves against a clear blue sky are a wonderful sight. Nearby, the scenic Tradouws Pass is a spectacular site: here the majestic geological features, the fascinating fynbos and the abundant birdlife can be admired.

Ladismith - Accommodation & Activities

Ladismith Lady of the Klein Karoo

Ladismith is scenically located in the shadow of the formidable peaks of the Klein Swartberg mountain range and enjoys the typical clear skies and sunny weather of the Klein Karoo. Travelling along the R62 from Barrydale the unmistakeable cleft peak of Towerkop comes into view from many miles away. First climbed in 1885 by a 19 year old Ladismith man, a feat was not repeated until 1947, the mountain still draws the adventurous. The rich farmland of the valleys, vibrant with colour from vinyard and orchard, contrast with the blue-grey mountain slopes and the dark kloofs.The town itself boasts historic buildings with eight distinct architectural styles, several of which have been declared national monuments. The quiet leafy streets and starlit evenings make for a recuperative stopover. Just 25 kms east of Ladismith the impressive Seweweekspoort links the Klein and Great Karoo. Glancing upwards from the winding gravel road the tortured folds of the sandstone mountains are awe inspiring and well worth the short detour. Seweweekspoort Peak, the highest in the province, rises up on your left.
