Touwsrivier

Touws River is also known as the doorway to the Karoo. This peaceful town is surrounded by Karoo bushes and rolling hillsides where sheep can often seen gazing.

Sheep farming is the major source of income in the region, which also offers interesting attractions as a graveyard of old steam engines and the Loganda pillars, used for astronomical calculations in the 1880’s. There are also various Bushmen painting sites in the Kaggakamma Reserve.
