1. KoringbergKoringberg is a small village located just 15 kilometres from Moorreesburg along the N7 to Piketberg and an hours drive from Cape Town. It is an enchanting dorpie surrounded by winter green and summer gold wheatfields.
Formerly known as Warrens Camp, Koringberg developed its own identity after seceding from the Dutch Reformed church in neighbouring Moorreesburg and Hopefield.
While it is a lesser-known Swartland village, it is gaining popularity thanks to the Koringberg mountain biking trail. The scenic route takes riders through fynbos, wheat fields and klipkoppies , culminating in an adrenaline-pumping descent with sharp hairpin bends.
Koringbergs distinct personality gradually put it on the map, attracting visitors looking for a hidden treasure.
