Karoo - Day6 Leg14 - Groenfontein

Once past the Swartberg Private Game Reserve, the road mostly winds along following a river valley until you get to Calitzdorp. Gravel all the way, it definitely takes after its name which translated means Green Fountain (Groenfontein). Along the route are farmsteads, farm workers homes and they are all extremely proud of their homes making up colourful flower gardens, etc. I love this route, the more I do it the more I enjoy it, riding along the base of the mountain, this is definitely one of those lesser traveled roads.
