Heidelberg, Western Cape, a quiet little town on the banks of the Duivenhoks River, is the gateway to the well-known Garden Route of South Africa.
The town with its scenic beauty and interesting sights offer the traveller a quiet, rustic atmosphere, but still lies unexplored to many tourists.
Heidelberg was named after Heidelberg in Germany, where the Heidelberg Catechism originated from.
It was decided on September 14th 1855 that “Doornboom” farm of Mr L.J. Fourie would be appropriate for a town. The sum of 5000 pounds was guaranteed to Mr Fourie for the past of his farm , situated on the banks of the Duivenhoks River.
The Homestead of Doornboom dates back to 1728.
