Paarl is one of the jewels of the Cape Boland, just 40km outside Cape Town on the N1. With its extraordinary vineyards, majestic views, and excoriating heat, this Boland town offers a little something for everyone. But did you know that when you venture into the nature reserve surrounding the Taal Monument, there s a massive rock that overlooks the quaint town?
Several members from the Off the Beaten Track off-road group recently ventured to Paarl Rock to explore the area and its surroundings. By the looks of it, it wasn t too much of a battle getting there, but the group couldn t just go to the rock and not explore the gems the area is known for.
