The impressive diversity and richness of the varied fynbos and Karoo flora on the slopes of the Swartberg Mountains are magnificent. The soil is poor in nutrients and also shallow, and the slopes themselves are steep. Yet proteas, leucadendrons, ericas, watso-nias, gladioli, disas, Haemanthus species and many lesser known, rare plants abound.

The Swartberg also has an interesting history, with human interaction and travel interacting closely with the Mountains, but it still remains a vast and pristine environment which has much interest to conservationists, geologists, hikers, mountain bikers and visitors from every reach of the globe.
