It was founded in 1875 as a church town and the biblical origin of its name means \u201cplace of flowing water\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Compassberg, is a mountain peak of the Sneeuberg range of mountains and is situated about an hour\u2019s drive north west of Nieu Bethesda. At 2502m, it is the highest peak in South Africa outside the Stormberg-Drakensberg massif.<\/p>\n<p>The Stone Folk Karoo Walking Experience encompasses the picturesque area around Nieu Bethesda, Doornberg Farm and the Compassberg mountain. The region has become well known, for its rich array of endemic plant species, its interesting cultural heritage and its abundance of bird and animal life.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, the Compassberg Protected Environment (CPE) was created, comprising about 26 000 hectares. The CPE is the first Protected Environment program in the Eastern Cape, and the second in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The Stone Folk Karoo Walking Experience is \u201ca walking-journey of discovery, of adventure and an experience, in a spectacular region of South Africa known as the Karoo that embraces the splendour of wide-open spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKaroo\u201d is the Khoisan word meaning \u201cland of thirst.\u201d[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Karoo-Walking-Experience-Webpage-Apr-2024.pdf\" class=\"vcex-button theme-button outline grey inline\" style=\"padding:12px 30px;color:#a0a0a0;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:2px;border-radius:99px;text-transform:uppercase;\" data-wpex-hover='{&quot;color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;}' title=\"More Details\"><span class=\"vcex-button-inner theme-button-inner\">Find out More<\/span><\/a> [\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/5&#8243;]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;152&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709040739378{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; bg_style=&#8221;stretch&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1713447831584{padding-top: 160px !important;padding-bottom: 160px !important;background: #666666 url(https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Nieu-Bethesda-cover-2.jpg?id=842) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1489793614331{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;border-left-color: #eeeeee !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #eeeeee !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #eeeeee !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #eeeeee !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/5&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;0px&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709040774545{margin-bottom: 5px !important;}&#8221;]Nieu-Bethesda is a village in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-657","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry","no-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
