The Table Mountain, one of the most popular photo motives of South Africa, rises majestically above the center of Cape Town.
It forms the northern part of the mountain range that begins about 50 km south of the Cape of Good Hope and slopes down about 1000 m in Cape Town. In front of the Table Mountain you can see the top of Devil’s Peak and Lion’s Head standing out.
The panorama view of the table mountain is overwhelming, it includes the whole city of Cape Town and reaches from Cape of Good Hope to Robben Island. More than 1400 plant species, most of which are only found here, flourish on the high plateau.
Quickly, visitors are greeted by rock hyrax whose appearance reminds of marmots. However, Cape hyrax are the nearest relatives of the elephants and are called Rock Dassie in South Africa. One should not get too close, because the bites are very painful.
We were surprised when we discovered the sign gluhwein (mulled wine) in the cafeteria at the mountain station of the cable car. Presumably, the Swiss engineers and workers had made the drink known when they built the modern cable car.

[dt.] Der Tafelberg, eines der bekanntesten Fotomotive Südafrikas, erhebt sich majestätisch über dem Zentrum von Kapstadt.
Er bildet den nördlichen Teil einer Bergkette, die ca. 50 km südlich beim Kap der Guten Hoffnung beginnt und in Kapstadt ca. 1000 m abfällt. Vorgelagert stechen der spitze Devil’s Peak und der Lion’s Head hervor.
Der Panoramablick vom Tafelberg ist überwältigend, umfasst ganz Kapstadt und reicht vom Kap der Guten Hoffnung bis Robben Island. Mehr als 1400 Pflanzenarten, von denen die meisten nur hier zu finden sind, gedeihen auf dem Hochplateau.
Rasch werden die Besucher von Klippschliefern begrüßt, deren Aussehen an Murmeltiere erinnert. Klippschliefer sind aber die nächsten Verwandten der Elefanten und werden in Südafrika Rock Dassie genannt. Man sollte ihnen nicht zu nahe kommen, da ihre Bisse sehr schmerzhaft sein sollen.
Überrascht waren wir, als wir in der Cafeteria in der Bergstation der Seilbahn das Schild Gluhwein entdeckten. Vermutlich hatten die Schweizer Ingenieure und Arbeiter das Getränk bekannt gemacht, als sie die moderne Seilbahn errichteten.
