On the way from Riebeek-Kasteel to Stellenbosch, we made a stop at the The Afrikaans Language Monument & Museum. Located fantastically on a mountain south of Paarl, the area offers a view all the way to Table Mountain in Cape Town on a clear day.
The monument is impressive: artist Van Wijk created a structure of various tapering convex and concave forms that symbolize the influences of different languages and cultures on Afrikaans – simply genius.
Tip: Entrance costs R40 per person, and there is a large parking lot after the gate.
For lunch, we head to Knus Karoo Kombuis just around the corner. In the shady garden, one can linger wonderfully, enjoy great smoothies, and have very delicious food. In the park in front, there are extraordinary sculptures to admire.
Then we continue on the R44 to Stellenbosch. The stretch from Klapmut is scenically beautiful, passing through vineyards, with a winery inviting you to taste every few kilometers.
