Swellendam, one of the oldest towns of South Africa, has much to offer to visitors: The charming historical buildings, the famous open-air Drostdy Museum, a choice of excellent restaurants, shops and art-and-craft projects are just a few examples of the tourist attractions. Also, the Marloth Nature Reserve and the Bontebok National Park are a ‘must' to explore.  The Swellendam Walking Trail is 74 kilometres long. The Swellendam golfcourse is nested at the feet of the Langeberg mountains. The almost private golfcourse offers just 9 holes, but the also experienced golfer would like the course. A none-affilated fee of R 80 (2005), almost no waiting / reservation times makes the course very attractive. You can also explore the surroundings by canoe. There are canoe routes on the Breede River and the Buffeljags River, 9 km from Swellendam. There are several horse riding trails (short trails or trails for several days) through the beautiful surroundings of Swellendam. For non-experienced, as well as for professional horse riders.
