Stand still, and look towards the darkening sky. And as a quiet breeze cools the desert you are encircled by a symphony of stars. Behind you are the great Swartberg Mountains, where the ancient mysteries of the Cango Caves keep their secrets. In front of you are the dramatic slopes of the Outeniqua — home to the ancient honey gatherers of the Khoisan. Discover the world as it was, and as it should be. This is the world that awaits you at Alphen aan den Rijn.
