#knysna, #gardenroute
Knysna, a pearl of the scenic Garden Route, is situated between George and Plettenberg Bay. Perennially green thanks to a Mediterranean Maritime climate with rain falling throughout the year, Knysna is mantled by indigenous forests extending into the Tsitsikamma National Park area. Nestled between the impressive Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean, the culinary capital of oysters and other delectable seafood is a compulsory stopover on every traveler's itinerary. At the heart of Knysna is a lagoon protected from the sea by the monolithic sandstone Heads Webcam– best explored on board a catamaran or from along hiking paths in the Featherbed Nature Reserve. A hotspot for art and craft, as well as adventure activities such as tree canopy gliding, kloofing and abseiling, Knysna offers something to everybody.
The peculiarity of the origin of the place-name Knysna is commonly explained with a light-hearted joke of two German tourists traveling to Knysna, and upon reaching the lookout point on the eastern Knysna Head, the one says to the other: 'Nice, na?'. On a more serious note, Knysna is believed to be derived from a Khoi word for place of wood, or fern leaves, but most probable straight down or hard to reach - referring to the steep Knysna Heads.

Walking around is the best option or rent a bicycle for longer distances. Except the minibuses there is no public transport so you have to take a taxi if you want. Traffic can become extremely busy during the tourist high season and long queues in and out of Knysna are common.
Many guesthouses, hotels and B&Bs compete for the visitor in off-season, but in high season prices rise and places fill early so book ahead. There are also several nice options out of town (like Brenton-on-Sea and Buffalo Bay) for those with their own transport.
The lagoon is about 18 sq. km and home to at least 200 species of fish is connected with the Indian Ocean through a turbulent channel between The Heads, two sandstone cliffs. Tour around on one of several boats or just take a coffee at the Heads. Take a boat across to the Featherbed Nature Reserve on the Heads (this is an organised tour because it's a private reserve, but it's a good way to spend some time on the lagoon than take a walk in the reserve).
The Knysna Forest is about 80.000 ha are now under conservation. The ‘King Edward VII’ tree (at Diepwalle forest station) is an estimated 600 years old, 39 m at height, and has a circumference of 6 m. The most famous animals are the Knysna elephants. Currently research, involving DNA testing of dung, is being done to see how many of them may still rumble in the jungle, please report any dung sightings! Remember to always take care. There are several hiking trails but you need a car to access the forest. Don't forget the conservation motto Take only photographs, leave only footprints!.
Pledge Nature Reserve offers 3.5 km of pathways through scrub forest and hillside fynbos with fine views over the lagoon and is just 500 meters of the town centre. A nice place for a walk in the afternoon.
Millwood Gold Fields site of one of the first gold rushes in South Africa, the Millwood Museum and Materoli Tea Room (be sure to try a piece of Jayne's World Famous Chocolate Cake) offers a unique and fascinating view of the greed, entrepreneurship, energy, and ultimate failure of the first gold discovered in South Africa during the late 1800's. Tours through the old gold diggings are available.

Aerial footage - Brenton on Sea Beach - Gardenroute Knysna South Africa Part 2 of 20
Brenton on Sea ist ein Ortsteil Knysna ( Naisna gesprochen ) das an einer großen Lagune am Indischen Ozean gelegen ist, und die Perle der Garden Route genannt wird, einem 200km Streifen am südlichsten Teil Südafrikas, bestehend aus Urwald, Seen, Flüssen, Gebirgen am Indischen Ozean.
Der ruhige Urlaubsort wurde im Jahr 2000 und 2002 zum
südafrikanischen Town of the year gewählt - ein Traumziel am Indischen Ozean, mit Yachthafen, world class Golfplätzen, europäischer Luxusinfrastruktur ähnlich St. Tropez, nur wesentlich günstiger und nie überlaufen ....es gibt alles ausser Wintersport
ENGLISH:
Brenton on Sea is situated on the scenic Garden Route coastline and nestles between the Indian Ocean and the hills of the Western Head of Knysna's Estuary, a 16 km drive from Knysna
in Eden District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
Northward and Westward are the Outeniqua Mountains rising behind Knysna and the Lagoon providing a majestic and distant backdrop Southward the Indian Ocean stretches uninterrupted towards the Antarctic. Westward, the sweep of Brentons 4km sandy beach touches Buffels Bay, but the view draws
one on, past Mossel Bay, to the lights of Gouritsmond, in some 130kms distance. It is a breathtaking holiday location and a nature lover's paradise with its unspoilt beaches and peaceful surroundings. Brenton is the ideal backdrop to relax on the beach with beautiful views and dramatic sunsets.
Named after Sir Jahleel Brenton, who declared Knysna a harbour in 1818, the area is home to the endangered Brenton Blue butterfly
The new Hotel Brenton Haven was opened in Dezember 2014 and offers beautiful beachfront accommodation as Beach Homes or Luxury Suites.Many have fallen in love with this little sleepy hollow suburb of Knysna and some even describe it has having “Champagne air”. Brenton Haven is perched on a dune above the main beach, with spectacular 180 degree ocean view, which provides guests with the perfect opportunity to see hundreds of dolphins passing, or whales playing in the waves.
Escape to South Africa’s haven of nature, Brenton on Sea in Knysna, where you will experience the best of the world-renowned Garden Route.
Knysna is famous for its abundance of nature experiences on offer, come and spot your first Loerie, or walk with an elephant. There’s so much to do in this busy little coastal town. It
combines the historical with the modern, the energetic with the restful and the vibrant with the tranquil. Enjoy fine art, brilliant shopping and excellent restaurants. Indulge in Knysna’s most
famous export, fresh oysters grown right here in the Knysna estuary. Explore our forests and dive into outdoor adventures like horse riding, treetop canopy swinging, hiking, golf, yachting,
fishing, and canoeing. For a pure adrenalin rush get into the more extreme sports of abseiling, paragliding, scuba diving or water skiing and some of the best mountain bike routes in the
country.

Knysna sculpture sold to an American art collector
A popular sculpture that has stood at the Knysna Waterfront on the Garden Route for fourteen years - and which was the background to countless selfies and photographs, will begin its journey to its new home in the US. 'Genesis' has been sold to a American art collector. It will now be replaced with something that is synonymous with the small town - a giant sculpture of a Knysna elephant.
