VISIT The land of legends: The Zoutpansberg Mountain Range
The Zoutpansberg is South Africa's northern-most mountain range. Its name was taken from the salt
pans that lie at its base near the western end. The salt pans have provided communities with salt
from pre-historic times to the present. The mountains stretch from east to west for about
130km and the range varies from 18-32km. The peaks of the range reach more than 1500m above sea level,
with Hangklip at 2550 and Lejuma at 1753 above sea level. The rainfall on the mountain can be up to 2000mm a year
in certain places and therefore supports a wide range of crops and cultivated lands.
