Day 3: Sutherland to Williston via Calvinia
Go for an early morning walk, run or cycle and enjoy a hearty breakfast before departing for Calvinia.
You can walk around town and visit some of the attractions such as the Calvinia Museum, Hantam Huis and other Victorian style houses. The Calvinia Museum is housed in a building with a Jewish synagogue at the core. The displays reflect the lifestyle of the Hantam people and have good examples of old tools made by Cape silversmiths, furniture of cedar- and stinkwood and photographs and documents of the history of wool farming in South Africa.

Go for lunch at the Blou Nartjie before departing for Williston.
