- ๐๏ธ Piket-Bo-Berg | West Coast's Elevated Farm & Trail Escape ๐๐ดโโ๏ธ
Discover Piket-Bo-Berg, a serene mountain plateau offering breathtaking views & lush fruit orchards! Explore hiking & MTB trails, find fresh produce at the Farmers' Market, and enjoy a tranquil farm stay high above the West Coast. Your peaceful retreat awaits! PIKET-BO-BERG WEST COAST WEST COAST HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION As provided by: West Coast Your Sweet Thing SLEEP! The Western Cape & West Coast's favourite Holiday accommodation booking system As jy op die N7 ry na 'n Sederberg-wegbreek of dalk op 'n langer rit na ons pragtige buurland Namibiรซ, sal jy 'n klein dorpie aan die kant van 'n berg met die naam Piketberg vind. As jy die imposante verkeersirkel net buite die dorp binnegaan, sal jy nie noodwendig 'n tweede gedagte aan hierdie juweel gee nie en dalk in die versoeking kom om regs verby dit te ry. So 'n verskriklike oordeelsfout sal veroorsaak dat jy ook die asemrowende uitsigte oor die Versfeldpas wat na 'n ander versteekte juweel genaamd Piket-Bo-Berg lei, mis. Ek het hierdie einste fout 'n paar jaar gelede gemaak omdat ek nie geweet het dat my lewe se seilboot in hierdie unieke deel van die wรชreld sou anker nie. Laat die stil stemmetjie van avontuur jou rasionele gedagtes oorkom en voel die trekpleister van die dorp terwyl jy dieper die kulturele hart van Piketberg inry. Stop oor, ontmoet die plaaslike inwoners, staan vir 'n oomblik stil, laat die dolle gejaag van die stad agter jou, vra die regte vrae en wie weet watter interessante verhale kan gedeel word. Ons is 'n vriendelike klomp wat altyd oop is vir 'n geselsie en nuus uit die groot stede. Ek praat van "ons" asof ek my hele lewe lank hier gewoon het, maar ek is steeds 'n baie onlangs aangekome migrant met die spoorstof wat steeds aan my reisklere kleef. Nadat ek net 4 jaar as 'n โInkommerโ op Piket-Bo-Berg gewoon het, het ek beslis net die oppervlak van hierdie juwele in die Bergrivier-kroon gekrap... En wat 'n kroon het sy! Ek sal hierdie groot lugland beslis noem. Dit voel of die horison vir ewig strek oor die eindelose vlaktes met hoรซ berge in die verte. Die lug voel groot as jy opkyk terwyl jy in 'n goue koringland staan. As jy op 'n Sondag- of laat Saterdagmiddag die dorp inry, kan 'n mens mislei word deur te dink dat die laaste trein baie jare gelede uit Piketberg vertrek het. Glo my, voorkoms kan bedrieglik wees. Wanneer hierdie dorpie Maandagoggend wakker word, sal die gewoel en gewoel beslis bevestig dat daar baie lewe oor is in hierdie statige ou dame wat teen die berg se kant buig. Die dorp is oorstroom met geskiedenis, stories en verhale van avontuur om ontdek te word deur enigiemand wat bereid is om toe te laat dat hul voete die grond tref. Welkom by die Berg, Piketberg. Kom ek deel 'n bietjie van die geskiedenis van ons vallei met jou. Die heel eerste mense wat hierdie gebiede tuis genoem het, was die Khosian en ChariGuriQua of GuriQua Namate die Kaapkolonie omstreeks 1673 uitgebrei het, het Piketberg as 'n buitepos of in militรชre terme 'n piketlyn (piquet in ou Afrikaans), aan die buitekant van die kolonie gedien. Hierdie buitepos sou dien as 'n uitkykpunt vir aanvalle van vyande. Piketberg as dorp het sy oorsprong op die plaas Grootfontein, wat deur sir Benjamin Dโurban, destydse Kaapkolonie-goewerneur, aan die NG kerkraad geskenk is. Vir die ontluikende historici, besoek South African History Online (https://www.sahistory.org.za/place/piketberg ) vir baie baie interessante besonderhede oor Piketberg en omgewing. Op pad dorp toe maak seker om by die Toerisme Inligtingsburo by die Winkelshoek Padstal te stop. Georgia wat hier in beheer is, sal beslis jou dag opvrolik met 'n glimlag sowel as 'n magdom inligting rakende die Bergrivier area. Kry 'n kopie van Historiese Piketberg, want dit sal jou kaart en kompas vir ons Historiese Roete wees! As jy deur die dorp kronkel, kan jy by die Piketberg-museum (Historiese roete nr. 9) in Kerkstr langs die ou Joodse Sinagoge inspring waar Mariรฉ meer as graag van die versteekte Piketberg-museumstories sal deel. Van hier af ry 'n bietjie dieper in die historiese hart van Piketberg waar jy Berg Coffee and Piquet Collective by Historiese roete no 2 in Kerkstraat sal vind. Bestel โn koppie heerlike enkeloorsprong, vars geroosterde koffie terwyl jy deur Piquet Collective se versameling gesondheidsprodukte, vars organiese produkte, dekor en geskenke blaai. Terwyl jy aansit om jou koppie koffie te geniet, sal jou oรซ verstom word deur die toringhoรซ NG Kerk voor jou. Die Kerk is toevallig ook no1 op die Piketberg Historiese roete. 'n Goeie sterk koppie koffie sal net wees wat jy nodig het om jou staptog deur die Historiese roete van Piketberg te begin, terwyl jy die plaaslike inwoners ontmoet of om die senuwees vir die reis teen die Versfeldpas te kalmeer. Die Versfeldpas sal jou na Piket-Bo-Berg lei. So loop die storie dat 'n meneer Versfeld, 'n boer op die berg, die eerste behoorlike pas teen die berg af wou bou wat die reis na Piketberg en verder na die markte en of skepe wat voor anker in Kaapstad lรช net soveel makliker sou maak. . Ek is seker dit het sin gemaak. Op hierdie stadium is my eerste gedagtes "Watter tipe persoon besluit om 'n berg te klim en 'n plaas bo-op te begin en dan besluit om ook 'n pas te bou?" Beide hierdie take sal deur die gemiddelde persoon as merkwaardig meer uitdagend as jou gemiddelde dagtaak beskou word. Hy het sy saak vir 'n pas aan die regering van die dag gestel wat op sy beurt nie die fondse wou verbind nie, kyk maar. So toe besluit mnr Versfeld om net die taak op homself te neem en die eerste pas sonder enige dinamiet en amper heeltemal met die hand gebou ... 'n hele klomp hande ek is seker. Die nuwe moderne pas is 'n paar keer herbou en in 1958 voltooi. Spring nou in jou voertuig, trek jou veiligheidsgordels styf en swaai die pas op! Wanneer jy jou opwaartse spiraal voltooi het, beloon jy jouself met 'n stop heel bo langs die Bergpas-inligtingsbord. Dit sorg vir 'n fenomenale uitsig oor die vallei hieronder. Bo-op die berg vind jy vrugteplase in oorvloed: appels, pere, perskes, amandels en meer, Fynbos, natuurwandelings, 4ร4-ritte en selfs valskermsweef word in seisoen aangebied! Maak seker dat jy jou reis beplan om saam te val met die Piket-Bo-Berg Boeremark wat gewoonlik op die laaste Saterdag van die maand plaasvind. Dit is 'n mark wat beslis nie misgeloop moet word nie. Aangebied deur Riette Bryant van Kruistementvlei Plaas, sal jy weggeruk word deur die vriendelike hartlike mense wat hul tuisgemaakte, tuisgemaakte produkte by die mark verkoop het. Terwyl u hier in die wolke stap, moet u seker maak dat u langs die vele paaie ry wat na allerhande interessante plekke bo-op die berg lei. Piket-Bo-Berg is die tuiste van De Berge Berg Mineraalwater, 'n gunsteling aan die Weskus vir meer as 18 jaar. Die vriendelike De Berge-span is altyd beskikbaar vir 'n verfrissende voorraad mineraalwater, 'n geselsie of as toergids op hul klein sitrusplaas. Reg langs De Berge is die Sababa-plaas wat die heerlikste organiese vrugte en groente verbou. Gee die span 'n geskreeu of bel vir 'n besoek of om hul produkte in die hande te kry. Nog 'n gunsteling van plaaslike produkte is Fruit Lips, wat sedert 2014 konfyte, marmelade, blatjang en vrugte in stroop skep en versprei. Kruistementvlei plaas is 'n ervaring in volhoubare boerdery en bied toere en verblyf aan besoekers. Kontak Riette Bryant vir verdere inligting. Piket-Bo-Berg is ook baie trots om die jaarlikse U MTB Stage Race aan te bied asook die Piket-Bo-Berg Cycle challenge & Trail Run. Hierdie werklik skouspelagtige geleenthede word deur die Piket-Bo-Berg-roetes aangebied. Maak seker dat jy by hul webblad aanteken vir meer besonderhede. Met baie opsies om in die dorp of op die berg te bly, wil jy dalk jou Piketberg-badkamerwegbreek in 'n oornag- of naweek-ontdekkingstoer verander. Jy sal Piketberg en Piket-Bo-Berg nie haastig verlaat nie en ek is seker jy sal deel van die familie word met jou herbesoeke. Interessante verhale: Daar was baie mane gelede 'n kanon bo-op die berg gestasioneer. Hierdie kanon is gebruik as 'n vroeรซ waarskuwingstelsel vir die plaaslike inwoners van enige naderende vyande. Dit het ook gedien as 'n kennisgewing aan die omliggende plase dat skepe in Kaapstad voor anker lรช en op hul produkte wag. Jy sal die Piketberg-museum moet kom besoek as jy presies wil weet hoe hierdie stelsel gewerk het. Die kanon is vandag nog rond. Die geheim van sy huidige ligging moet geopenbaar word aan diegene wat bereid is om 'n reis op hierdie manier aan te durf. Baie jare gelede het boere hul steenvrugte op die grondpaaie bo-op die berg gestort. Dit sou dan as 'n soort oppervlak in die pad ingewerk word. Dit was voor ons teerpaaie gehad het.
