Caledon

Die dorpie Caledon is op die hange van die Klein Swartberg, sowat 100 km oos van Kaapstad en bekend vir sy warmwater bronne en fynbos. Geleë in 'n gars, koring en wol produserende streek, is Caledon in 1813 vernoem na die goewerneur, graaf van Caledon.

Caledon verskuldig aan die ontdekking van yster- en mineraalryke bronne deur die vroeë Khoi-Khoi-mense. Hierdie natuurlike warmwater bronne lewer daagliks meer as 900 000 liter water en word as geneesmiddel beskou.

Vandag bekend as die "hoofstad van die Overberg", bied Caledon nou 'n moderne hotel, casino en spa. Die Caledon Nature and Wildflower Reserve is by die ingang van Venster Kloof - vernoem na 'n rotsformasie wat lyk soos 'n venster. Meer as 10 ha van die reservaat is die tuiste van talle voëlspesies en 'n sirkelroete.

Jaarlikse gebeure in Caledon sluit in Maart 'n bier- en broodfees en 'n blomvertoning in September.
