A South African mountain landscape of great variety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Drakensberg features steep basalt walls, deep valleys, and open highlands that create a distinctive hiking terrain. The book covers day walks in eleven areas, showing both the grand landscape forms and quieter experiences below them. This provides a broad basis for a stay where you want to combine different types of walking days and explore more than a single viewpoint or well-known area along the mountain range. <\/p>\n

Seventy-five walks, from short outings to longer days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The routes range from roughly 1 to 26 kilometres and are graded from easy to demanding. This makes it possible to choose according to both experience and desired scope. The book therefore suits several types of stays, with the option to start gently and choose other walks as you become more familiar with the landscape and the practical conditions at your base during the trip. <\/p>\n

Maps and information that add depth to the walks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Descriptions and maps support navigation and the choice of starting point. Nature and historical traces, including the area’s rock art, add extra content to the walks. The guide helps you understand what the different areas have to offer, so the itinerary can be tailored to your interests rather than simply following the nearest trail or the most famous photographs the region is often presented with. <\/p>\n

Plan according to altitude, weather, and local conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shorter and longer routes have different requirements for equipment and capacity, and weather conditions can affect progress. Local regulations and access to certain sites should be checked before the trip. The guide suits hikers who want a wide selection and can actively use the gradings and descriptions, supplemented with up-to-date local information when deciding on specific walking days during the stay in the area. <\/p>\n

A long tradition of hiking guides.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew out of a community of climbers and mountain people who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes \u2013 a tradition that still shapes the publisher’s books on walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences. <\/p>\n
