There are a number of places to go hiking in the Overberg. The Bontebok National Park just south of Swellendam encompasses the Langeberg Mountains as well as being bordered by the Breede River, making for an attractive walking environment. There are day trails and an overnight trail for the more adventurous. The De Hoop Nature Reserve, further south still, on the coast, also has a network of hiking trails designed for day visitors and overnighters. They include inland hikes through the Potberg Mountains, and along the coast, and are designed to showcase the best of the scenery and wildlife, including Cape vulture colonies and the crustaceans of the rock pools.
