The Hex River Mountains (Afrikaans: Hexrivierberge) make up the second highest mountain range in the Western Cape province of South Africa and are located 120 kilometres (75 miles) north-east of Cape Town. They form part of a large anticline in the Cape Fold Belt mountain system and form a north-east, south-west trending mountain system forming the core of the Cape Syntaxis between the towns of Worcester and De Doorns. They are mostly composed of Table Mountain sandstone and most peaks reach 2,000 metres (6,562 feet) in height or more. The highest mountain is Matroosberg at 2,249 metres (7,379 feet), making it the second tallest peak in the province after Seweweekspoort Peak in the Swartberg Mountain Range.

  • The Hex River Mountains (Afrikaans: Hexrivierberge) make up the second highest mountain range in the Western Cape province of South Africa and are located 120 kilometres (75 miles) north-east of Cape Town. They form part of a large anticline in the Cape Fold Belt mountain system and form a north-east, south-west trending mountain system forming the core of the Cape Syntaxis between the towns of Worcester and De Doorns. They are mostly composed of Table Mountain sandstone and most peaks reach 2,000 metres (6,562 feet) in height or more. The highest mountain is Matroosberg at 2,249 metres (7,379 feet), making it the second tallest peak in the province after Seweweekspoort Peak in the Swartberg Mountain Range. The vegetation is primarily montane fynbos and the mountains fall within the Cape's Mediterranean climate. The mountains provide some rudimentary snow-skiing opportunities in winter, with the Western Cape's heaviest snowfalls occurring in and around these ranges. The surrounding valleys support intensive deciduous fruit cultivation, mostly in the form of cherries and table grapes. and terraces found in the near the summit of Matroosberg evidences past periglacial activity, which occurred likely during the Last Glacial Maximum.

  • Le Hex River Mountains (in afrikaans Hexrivierberge) costituiscono la seconda catena montuosa più alta della provincia del Capo Occidentale del Sudafrica e si trovano circa 120 chilometri a nord-est di Città del Capo. Fanno parte di una grande anticlinale nel sistema montuoso della Cintura di pieghe del Capo e questo sistema montuoso che forma il nucleo della Cape Syntaxis tra le città di Worcester e De Doorns. Queste montagne sono principalmente composte da arenaria della montagna della Tavola e la maggior parte dei picchi raggiunge i 2.000 metri di altezza ed oltre. La montagna più alta è il Matroosberg che raggiunge i 2.249 metri, rendendola la seconda vetta più alta della provincia dopo il Seweweekspoort Peak nella catena montuosa di Swartberg. Riguardo alla vegetazione è presente principalmente del fynbos di montagna ed il clima delle Hex River Mountains rientra nel clima mediterraneo, tipico della zona intorno a Città del Capo. Le montagne offrono alcune basilari opportunità di sci sulla neve in inverno, quando le nevicate più abbondanti della zona si verificano all'interno e intorno a queste catene. Per quanto riguarda le valli circostanti, sono presenti svariate coltivazioni intensive di frutta decidua, principalmente sotto forma di ciliegie e uva da tavola, ciò a causa del clima favorevole.
