 Welcomed by a timeless feeling when entering this town. Genadendal ('Valley of Grace') was established in 1738 by George Schmidt, who was sent by the United Brethren (Moravian Church) to preach the Gospel to the Khoi people. The focus of the town is the museum complex, which lies in nearperpetual shade under gracious oaks.
The Moravian Church is known for its talented choir and brass band performances. Mission Museum, Genadendal's museum collection has been declared a National Cultural Treasure and is definately worth a visit.
One of the oldest mission printing presses in South Africa could be found in the Old Print Shop. The Water Mill offers bread made from stone-ground flour and baked in open-air ovens. If you are energetic you could tackle the Genadendal Hiking Trail a 25,3 km long circular route. Overnight facilities are available on the farm Die Hoek. A permit could be obtained from the Vrolijkheid Nature Conservation Station. (023) 625 1621. TOURIST INFORMATION
