Bergville

Bergville, the closest village to the northern Drakensberg

Bergville, named for its position as the closest village to the northern Drakensberg is located on the R74, alternative route to Durban.

Bergville is a small town and is the last place to stock up on groceries or draw cash before going into the Northern Drakensberg when coming from the south.

It is an ideally placed town, equal in distance from the Central and Northern Berg. Servicing the famers and locals of the area, it is a good place to stop and recharge before your 'trek' to the Berg.

It is a good idea to fill up on fuel here before going further North as there are only a few resorts that stock fuel in that region.

Bergville hosts the Bergville Winterton marathon in December, the Bergville Ladysmith marathon in April as well as the Bergville Cycle  race in April.
