Haenertsburg


Haenertsburg is a village situated on the edge of the Great Escarpment in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, on the R71 road between Polokwane and Tzaneen en route to the Kruger National Park.
Frequent mists and relatively high rainfall have created a lush vegetation with afromontane forest patches occupying the kloofs(gullies) which dot the rolling grasslands and surrounding mountains.
The scenic beauty of the Haenertsburg area attracts many tourists. It is a favoured spot for cycling, biking and fishing. Sailing and other watersport take place on nearby Ebenezer Dam. The 20th steepest mountain pass in South Africa, the Magoebaskloofpass, leads one down from the Highveld of the Haenertsburg area to the Lowveld adjoining the Kruger National Park, gaining/losing 446m altitude in 5.15 km. – Wikipedia
