| • Maria Ratschitz - Wasbank valley |
|
The monastery and church were founded and built by the Trappist Monks. The mission was started in 1890. Between 1905 and 1909 the church was built and dedicated to the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady. It was in constant use until the 1970's. Slowly it slid into decline. In 1997 restoration was begun and dedicated workmen have restored the buildings to their former glory. A nursing order of nuns manage an aids hospice in some of the original buildings. Religious retreats may also be taken here. |
| • Valley of the Cannibals |
|
These are very scenic valleys from Rorke's Drift via Elandskraal to Helpmekaar. In the early 1800's tribes fleeing from the emerging Zulu nation took refuge in these hills and turned to cannibalism for survival. |
