The Forest Legends Museum at Diepwalle is a must-visit for all lovers of the magical Knysna Forest.

Getting there: leave Knysna on the N2 in the direction of Plettenberg Bay. As you reach the top of the hill, take a left onto the R339 at the Uniondale sign, heading north. The tar runs out as you enter the forest.

There is a community-run tea garden to enjoy — please don’t rely on it as the business hours are somewhat erratic). You can spend the night at the Diepwalle Forest Timber Camping Decks.
