San Rock art Mecca in South Africa  Many of the san paintings are damaged as a result of natural weathering and sadly, also because of vandalism.

Leliekloof has the most and best examples of rock art in the district.  Good and easily accessible paintings are also found on the farm Kapokkraal.  Both of these sites are situated in the Stormberg area and open to the public.

Hiking Trail
An interesting hiking trail over 15 km, in the Burgersdorp area, has been laid out on the farm Kapokkraal.  The route passes over one of the highest peaks in the Stormberg range and includes the rock art site.

Rotskuns

Die gebied word dikwels beskryf as die Mekka van rotskuns in Suid-Afrika.  Baie van die Boesman tekeninge het egter as gevolg van natuurlike verwering asook deur vandalisme verlore gegaan.

Leliekloof beskik oor die meeste en beste voorbeelde in die distrik.  Goeie en maklik bereikbare tekeninge kom ook op die plaas Kapokkraal voor.  Albei die terreine is in die Stormberge geleë en word vir die publiek oopgestel.

Staproete

‘n Besondere staproete oor 15km in die Burgersdorp omgewing, is op die plaas Kapokkraal uitgelê.  Die roete gaan oor een van die hoogste bergspitse in die Stormberge en sluit die rotskuns terrein in.
