Avontuur

Avontuur sits in the Tsitsikamma foothills and was once the inland terminus of a forest railway that hauled timber to Knysna. Later, it became the end point of the Avontuur Railway, built to connect Langkloof orchards with the port at Port Elizabeth. In the 1960s, it turned into a tourist draw known as the Apple Express. Today, it’s still farming country — fruit, lucerne, sheep — and home to the Zondagh family, 10th-generation apple farmers and your hosts at the first Burn Camp.
