When visiting Sutherland you do not have any choice but to walk this amazing veldplant route of either 3- or 12 km just about two kilometers outside town. On route all the plants are numbered and presented in an A5-booklet with botanical names and short description of each plant together with a digital photo.

Especially the 3 km route is so laid out that even a two-year old can walk and enjoy it. The booklet also presents a numerical as well as alphabetical index of the plants. This is continuously added on as new plants are discovered in the course of the year.

The most ideal time where the most flowers are in bloom is August to October.

The 12 km walk is more strenuous and one needs time to walk and enjoy it. This same route is also the mountain bike trail and can be enjoyed by old and young.
