Hiking In The Berg
Hiking is a pastime that has been perfected throughout the centuries. It probably began as a natural form of transportation before the automobile. But now that the automobile has conquered the tar roads, hiking has become a leisurely form of getting to one’s destination without the hassle of putting in petrol. Hiking is a way of seeing the world from one hilltop to the next mountain peak.
A favourite area for hiking in South Africa is the Drakensberg region. From this vantage point, you can hike up the mountain passes and view the natural beauty of the gorgeous Kwazulu Natal Province. What also makes hiking more convenient is that it doesn’t take a genius to do it. You don’t require fancy equipment like with climbing and there is also minimal risk in comparison.
This means that anyone of any age, size, colour, nationality and character can take up hiking. Depending on your preferences, you can do it anywhere for as long as you like. Hiking opens up a new world of possibilities for those who want to see the world. You can breathe in the crisp and clean mountainous air as you hike through shady ravines, rippling streams and gaze upon gaudy wildflowers in bloom in the spring season. There are so many landmarks to search for and gaze upon, ones that normally can’t be reached at a tangible level from vehicles such as a helicopter. In short, hiking can be the easiest and prettiest way to travel to where you want to go.
