Underberg - Southern Drakensberg
The Splashy Fen Music Festival sees hundreds of people make their way through
Underberg and this part of the southern Drakensberg
Underberg describes that town's location beneath the Southern
Drakensberg Mountains. The southern Drakensberg presents more fly-fishing
opportunities than anywhere else in South
Africa, with the Underberg Trout
Fishing Club holding rights to more than 160km of river plus 60 dams with
a surface area exceeding 400 hectares. The Underberg district further boasts
three golf courses and numerous rivers for swimming, rafting, canoeing
and tubing. Horse trails and polo fields add a further dimension to the
available fun and excitement. Near to Underberg lies Himeville and
the Himeville Museum which was built in 1900 as the last of Natal's loop-holed
forts before housing prisoners until 1972. An open-air exhibition of settler
and agricultural history is surrounded by display rooms housing military,
African traditional and even trout- fishing memorabilia. Further, the museum
is home to a valued collection of San artefacts and an insightful interpretation
of the life and times of these ancient ones is to be found there.
Underberg is a little town, and busy, despite the fact that this part of
the district is predominantly farming country. The town of Underberg is pretty
functional, although it has grown in the last couple of decades and now includes
a number of commercial ventures.
The Splashy Fen Music Festival sees hundreds of people make their way through
Underberg and this part of the southern Drakensberg to attend the Easter weekend
filled with local music, arts and crafts, food and drink. |
