Flanked by major rivers, Heidelberg is conveniently located between the majestic Langeberg mountains and
the sea. This beautiful country town, on the banks of the Duivenhoks River, is next to the N2 highway, 276 km
from Cape Town and 168 km from George. In 1689 an explorer, Izaak Schryver, camped here and found so
many doves that he gave the river its rather unusual name. The town was named after Heidelberg in
Germany, the source of the Heidelberg Catechism and like the new Heidelberg, built on the banks of a river.
It is a small, tranquil town with friendly people, good schools and a modern infrastructure. Here you can enjoy
quality country town living in a quaint village. The town is a treasure of beautiful old buildings of historical
heritage, including a church with Gothic architecture.
