Lots of people trek to Nieuwoudtville to revel in 6 weeks worth of floral abandon during Spring. What they do not realise is that they are missing out on a secret season here in the ‘Bulb Capital of the World’. On the flip side of the flower season, this delightful dorp boasts endless amounts of breathing space, a gobsmacking range of botanical rareties and the full gamut of outdoor adventure options. Bring your boots, your bike, your climbing gear, your trail running shoes and a generous dollop of adventurous spirit. And oh ja, if you have a macro lens and a winter fleece, you might want to pack that as well.
