Paulpietersburg on the Battlefields Route 370 km North of Durban, is a small town nestling in the foothills of the Dumbe Mountain. Dumbe a big, flat-topped, triangular mountain in the middle of flatlands territory, popular with paragliders and hikers and named after the wild Dumbe fruit which grows on its slopes. The town was named to honour the Boer president Paul Kruger and Voortrekker hero, Pieter Joubert in 1888. It also lies on the Rainbow Route, an alternative means of reaching the coast, that starts in Mpumalanga and passes through Paulpietersburg, Vryheid, Melmoth, and Piet Retief and ends in the town of Mtunzini. Paulpietersburg is said to be the healthiest town in South Africa, because of its excellent climate and the naturally high quality of its water which has attracted two spring-water bottling plants to the area. One of the best known attractions in the area is the Natal Spa resort and conference centre with its nine hot and cold mineral water pools.
