 About the country
The Federal republic of Germany is the most influential country of Europe. It has witnessed the most controversial facts of history like Nazism, Holy Roman Empire and the building and demolition of the Berlin wall. With many magnificent castles it has wealth of art and culture. German is the widely spoken language in German, but outsiders can find many English speaking locals especially in the common tourist destinations.
Weather
The weather here is very unpredictable as there is a possibility of rain almost all months, so carry clothes accordingly. April and May are the months of spring which brings in full bloom of fruits and flowers. Months from May to September have very fine weather with sunny skies and offers the best time for traveling and site-seeing. People who have a passion for sports like swimming, hiking, and cycling can have the best time here during these months. Winter sports can be enjoyed at the resorts in the months from November to early March. The temperatures are below freezing and the days are too short (comprise |

 THE BIG THRILL
With a name like Hazyview, this South African town may not conjure up images of nerve-wracking adventure. But thats exactly what brings thrill seekers here. From riding rapids to zipping over forested slopes, it gives you every chance to flirt with danger.

Over the course of three previous trips, we have perceived South Africa as a first world country in an African setting; a country blessed by natures bounty and an abundance of wildlife; a savage paradise studded with luxurious game lodges. This time around we discovered that South Africa has a wild (and we are not referring to its animals), adventurous streak. And there is a heady cocktail to choose from: abseiling, mountain biking, horse riding, mountain boarding, hot air ballooning, kayaking, river rafting and more.
FROM JOBURG TO HAZYVIEW
The drive from Johannesburg to Hazyview takes around six hours. However if you have the time to spare, take the longer, yet spectacularly scenic Panoramic Route. Consider a stopover at Walkersons at Dullstroom and try fly-fishing in the many trout ponds.
