Leipoldville Tourism Info Western Cape Cape West Coast

Leipoldville Western Cape Cape West Coast Information

If you take the road from Elandsbaai to Graafwater you travel through this amazing valley at the top of a mountain range and at the T-Junction you turn into a place called Leipoldville. Suddenly you feel as if you have stepped out of a time machine and you are experiencing history as it happens. Founded in 1905 by reverend Frederich Leipold it is still very much like it was then. This is the centre of an area known as the Sandveld. The sandveld has become famous for providing one of the best potato types in the world. The son of the founding father became famous in his own right as a poet and a writer. C Louis Leipold was born here and his birthplace is still marked as a historical treasure. The other thing that this area is famous for is the abundance of Protea's that are picked on the mountain slopes. Contact info: Tourism Bureau Sandra vd Westhuizen +27 27 412 2116
