Day 17 of our virtual and we visit the Overberg region.
The diversity of the natural environment in the Overberg is accompanied by an unsurpassed wealth of indigenous plants and animals. The region lies in the heart of the famous Cape Floristic Region with its well-known fynbos (fine-leafed) vegetation.
Bontebok National Park, situated in the Overberg, is home to rich birdlife, including the blue crane.
The Blue Crane is South Africa's national bird and is restricted as a breeding species to this country. About fifteen years ago, pastures were developed on a large scale in the Overberg and a man-made habitat was created that was crane friendly. About half the remaining Blue Crane population has found a sanctuary here.
The Region is known for dairy, wool, conola and wheat farming. The Overberg is also a world class wine-country-tourism destination and offers excellent wines.
The Overberg coast, also called the 'Whale Coast", has the distinction of splitting two oceans. At Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip. Whales swim near Hermanus, Grotto Beach and adjacent Walker Bay Nature Reserve.
Tag 17
Tag 17 unserer virtuellen und wir besuchen die Region Overberg.
Die Vielfalt der natürlichen Umwelt im Overberg wird von einem unübertroffenen Reichtum an einheimischen Pflanzen und Tieren begleitet. Die Region liegt im Herzen der berühmten Cape Floristic Region mit ihrer bekannten Fynbos-Vegetation (feinblättrig).
Der Bontebok-Nationalpark im Overberg beherbergt eine reiche Vogelwelt, einschließlich des blauen Kranichs.
Der Blaue Kranich ist Südafrikas Nationalvogel und als Brutart auf dieses Land beschränkt. Vor etwa fünfzehn Jahren wurden im Overberg in großem Umfang Weiden angelegt und ein künstlicher Lebensraum geschaffen, der kranfreundlich war. Etwa die Hälfte der verbliebenen Blue Crane-Bevölkerung hat hier ein Heiligtum gefunden.
Die Region ist bekannt für Milch-, Woll-, Conola- und Weizenanbau. Der Overberg ist auch ein Weltklasse-Reiseziel für Weinlandtourismus und bietet exzellente Weine.
Die Overberg-Küste, auch "Whale Coast" genannt, unterscheidet zwei Ozeane. Am Kap Agulhas, der südlichsten Spitze. Wale schwimmen in der Nähe von Hermanus, Grotto Beach und dem angrenzenden Walker Bay Nature Reserve.
