Historic Settlement and Natural Wonders in the Drakensberg Foothills
Ohrigstad is a historic village in the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains. It serves as the oldest town on the popular Panorama Route in Mpumalanga. Hendrik Potgieter founded the settlement in 1845 and named it after himself. Residents initially abandoned the area due to malaria but returned in the 1900s. Today the valley is a malaria-free zone and a productive farming community. Local farmers grow a diverse range of crops including maize and various fruits. You can explore many outdoor activities during a weekend break in this valley. Options include fly-fishing, game viewing, and hiking through the mountain trails. The nearby Echo Caves offer a unique experience as a protected historical monument. You can also view hippos and crocodiles at the Blyde Dam confluence. The village provides a reliable base for your regional travels. Visit the area for local art and handmade furniture.
