Stettynskloof Dam

Beautiful Saturday morning and an invitation to go to the Stettynskloof Dam, near Worcester
Restricted access, so this opportunity can't go to waste

First through the Overberg wheat fields, gravel roads to our destination to avoid all the traffic

Shop, Fuel and Post Office, all in one

Restricted access, code needed for entrance gate, we are here legally and have the code, gate open

This is an old tree that was planted upside down, the roots are at the top and the top of the cut off branch, nestled between rocks

The surroundings are beautiful on the road leading up to the dam wall

At the bottom of the dam wall

Took some lunch

Clean fresh mountain water

 On the dam wall

Water level at about 98 % full, was still overflowing two weeks prior to our visit

The area below the dam wall, where we had a nice braai and picnic, we almost stayed the night

What a beautiful view

The road back, over the bridge and up the valley

We decided to take another route home, through Du Toit's Kloof pass, but the old route over the mountain, and not through the tunnel, magnificent, we stopped for some refreshments and on we went

This chap was just sitting in the pub with no bother with what's going on around him, very quiet and didn't even have a drink, did not even smoke his cigarette, just minding his own business

Through the old tunnel

Breathtaking views from the top



And then back home through another gravel road leading towards Botriver

What a fantastic day we had, so much to see, so much to do, life is just great
