Area Info
A small, modern Karoo village, Laingsburg lies at the confluence of two rivers in one of the driest parts of the country, 280 km from Cape Town just off the N1 highway that travels through the Great Karoo.
Laingsburg, initially called Buffelsrivier (Buffalo River), is considered something of a geological wonderland. There is now a geological walk on the farm Geelbeksbrug 12 km north of Laingsburg to cater for the growing interest in the geology of the area. Known as the Blockhouse Route, because of its proximity to the Anglo-Boer War Blockhouse, the route takes in several fascinating rock formations.
The area also caters extensively to outdoor enthusiasts. There are several hiking trails, including the 24 km Klipkraal route along the crest of the Swartberg and the 16 km Verlorenhoek trail, as well as a hike designed specially for bird fanatics at Kraankop farm.
