How to get to Calvinia
From Gauteng in the north, you can choose one of two
routes.
Route one would be via Upington over Brandvlei to
Calvinia. The other route leads via Kimberley through
Carnarvon and Williston, a distance of some 1200
kilometers.
From the south you leave the N7 at Van Rhynsdorp and
ascend the escarpment through the magnificent Van Rhyn's
Pass to the floral kingdom of the Hantam.
Another route consists of a breakaway from the N1 at
Matjiesfontein, through Verlatekloof, Sutherland, via
Middelpost to Calvinia.
For the very brave, through the Ceres-Karoo on the R355,
which is the longest distance between two neighbouring
towns, i.e. Ceres and Calvinia - a distance of about 250
kilometers. |
