Wolkberg Wilderness Area

The Wolkberg Wilderness Area spans 22,000 hectares of mountainous terrain, featuring peaks, valleys, cliffs, and waterfalls shaped by the Mohlapitse River.

The area received official protected status in 1977, following a history of early black communities and white settlers inhabiting sections of the region.

The wilderness serves as a scientific research site, maintaining natural ecosystems and providing essential water resources to nearby communities.

Visitors need permits to access the designated hiking trails, with basic camping facilities available at Klipdraai forest station and along the Mohlapitse River.

The Devils Knuckles, formed by quartzite cliffs, rise within the reserve where leopards, caracals, and 150 bird species inhabit the protected landscape.
