Camino Routes in Underberg

There’s a quiet kind of adventure waiting in Underberg — one that trades noise for nature and speed for soul. The Camino-style routes winding through this Southern Drakensberg haven invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and walk with purpose through landscapes that feel untouched by time.

These aren’t just hikes. They’re journeys. You’ll move through rolling farmlands, whispering forests, and highland passes framed by jagged peaks. The air is cool and crisp, the views endless. Each step connects you more deeply to the land — to the sound of your boots in the dust, the scent of wild grasses, the distant call of raptors overhead.

Unlike the classic European Caminos, Underberg’s routes blend raw mountain energy with rural South African charm. You’ll pass rustic chapels, friendly homesteads, and maybe even share the trail with a curious cow or two. Overnight stays vary from cozy farm lodges to tucked-away guesthouses, all threaded together by the rhythm of the walk.

It’s not about ticking off kilometers. It’s about presence. Reflection. Movement that makes space for meaning.

Whether you’re walking solo or with a small group, the Camino routes around Underberg offer more than scenery. They offer clarity. Stillness. And the kind of inner shift that only comes from walking long and slow through something beautiful.
