Langeberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Langeberg Mountain Range is a mountain range situated in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The range runs in a generally east-west direction and is approximately 170 km long. The Langeberg's most westerly point is located 35 km west of the town of Swellendam; the range ends some 30 km north-east of Riversdale in the east.
The open plains of the Little Karoo border the north of the mountain range, while to the south lies the Agulhas Plain and the Overberg wheatbelt.
On the southern slopes of the range mountain fynbos can be found, with Afromontane forest patches found in deep secluded gorges, while on the drier northern slopes karroid scrub is found.
There are three nature conservation areas along the range: the Marloth Nature Reserve, the Boesmansbos Wilderness Area and the Garcia State Forest.
