Interesting facts
Arangieskop is often dubbed the "Kilimanjaro of the Cape." This nickname isn't due to its height—though it stands at an impressive 1,696 meters—but because of its demanding ascent and descent.
​
​The Langeberg Mountain Range, forming a majestic backdrop to Robertson in the Western Cape, is a captivating natural feature with rich geological and ecological significance. Stretching approximately 150 kilometers from Ceres to the Breede River, these mountains are part of the ancient Cape Fold Belt, characterized by rugged peaks and dramatic valleys shaped over millions of years.
