Langeberg East Mountains

The eastern Langeberg forms part of a long chain of folded mountains along the southern Cape. Steep ridges overlook the drier Little Karoo to the north and the coastal country to the south. Mountain fynbos covers much of the range, while sheltered gorges on the southern slopes hold patches of indigenous forest. Rivers rise among the heights and flow through the valleys towards the coast. San rock art preserves traces of earlier inhabitants in this rugged country.
