Mountain Cape Town
|
The gigantic tectonic plates within the mantle, far below the seabed shifted over time and molten lava was forced upwards through a layer of shale to cool and form granite. Sand was deposited by ancient rivers over millions of years to shape the Cape mountains we have today.
Table Mountain Cape Town stands at the head of a mountain chain extending South along the backbone of the Cape Peninsula towards Cape Point. It is the direction from whence the well known Cape south easterly wind originates, from faraway over the Atlantic Ocean, and it is the region now known as the Table Mountain National Park

Table Mountain sheltered the indigenous Khoi San who roamed the coastal plains centuries ago, the original Cape explorers and the many following generations of European settlers, slaves and travellers who helped to build and populate our special city and South Africa.
Today, Table Mountain Cape Town is a magnet for photographers, tourists and hikers, and you shouldn't visit Cape Town without taking a cable car ride, or a hike to the summit. The upper cable station is at 1067 metres and the highest point Maclears Beacon stands at 1085 metres.
