Location: South Africa » Eastern Cape » Frontier Country » Friendly N6 RouteRambling from East London on the coast to Bloemfontein in the Freestate - two cities well served by modern national airports, bus and car hire facilities - the N6 is a route that opens up a treasure chest of new discoveries. Diverse cultures and outdoor adventures abound, with hidden attractions, exciting activities and splendid vistas along the way. Good roads, fine accommodation and warm-hearted people have earned this route its name. Wind your way along a national road, stretching from Bloemfontein, a city steeped in history and culture, through landscapes of unsurpassed beauty and tranquillity, to the coastal city of East London. Take time to savour every inch of the journey. Nature and history weave their spell to create unexpected surprises and hidden secrets. Don't miss any of it. Spectacular hiking trails call you to explore on foot - some challenging, others allowing one to just meander. From vast Karoo plains to coastal country, you can feast your eyes on diverse indigenous animal, bird and plant species. Experience glorious sunsets. Search for old fossil remains. View ancient "San" (Bushmen) paintings and engravings. Breathe crisp, clean air and rediscover your senses. See wild animals close up, in a malaria-free environment, from the majestic Kudu to the stately Eland, from the mischievous fox to the elephant, hippo and rhinoceros. Follow the changing hues and textures of Nature's floral tapestry, from the undulating sand dunes of the coast to Hogsback's rod-wood giants and from mountain daisies to colourful splashes of spring flowers in the Karoo. Historic towns and quaint settlements bear testimony to the conflicts and traditions of bygone days. Visit fascinating sites preserved in memory of the Anglo Boer War. Amble through fine museums for a glimpse of cultures and lifestyles from a different era. Fishing enthusiasts will find some of the country's finest spots along this route. Sparkling trout streams cascade down mountains, some passing through the country's biggest dam on their way to the Indian Ocean. However you choose to travel, whichever nooks and crannies you choose to explore, you will come away with unforgettable memories. And you will return to make some more.
