mmm...this is where I first ever played in the snow when I was little :)
Beautiful place!
Where in the Eastern Cape exactly, is this?
Just outside East London, 1 of the most picturess places in SA, that guy J RR Tolken was inspired to write his book about those dwarfs and the ring from this place.
Googled this:



Situated in the Amatola Mountains, Hogsback is a magical place said to have inspired Tolkien (who was born in South Africa) when he wrote Lord of the Rings. The landscape is lush, green and dotted with waterfalls and streams to swim in. Indigenous forests play host to parrots and louries among many other species of birds. Hogsback is ideal for those who enjoy walking, trout fishing and horse riding. Trails are well marked throughout the area.
