STAPROETE

So n klompie maande gelede het Kobus Smuts, van KarooVreugde, op sy bankie langs die rivier gesit en kyk na Letterkop.  Die gedagte om daar n ent te gaan stap het intussen gegroei.  Tot so 'n mate dat,, met die samewerking van 'n toegewyde groepie mede stappers, daar 'n staproete van 4.5km ontwikkel is.

Die Merweville Staproete is amptelik op 27 September 2026 geopen. Die roete word beskryf as toeganklik vir oud en jonk en verg 'n lae mate van fiksheid.

Die roete is mooi uitgele en maklik om te volg.

HIKING ROUTE

A few months ago, Kobus Smuts, from KarooVreugde, sat on his bench by the river and looked at Letterkop. The idea of ​​going for a walk there has since grown. To such an extent that, with the cooperation of a dedicated group of fellow hikers, a 4.5km hiking route was developed.

The Merweville Hiking Route was officially opened on 27 September 2026. The route is described as accessible to young and old and requires a low level of fitness.

The route is beautifully laid out and easy to follow.

EERSTE RUSBANKIE

Gister, 8 Oktober 2026 is die eerste rusbankie op die roete voltooi.

Nie net n heerlike rus geleentheid nie, maar so geplaas om die dorp en die karoo in te asem.
