Overview
#Dullstroom (a.k.a. Emnotweni) Dullstroom (lately renamed to Emnotweni) is a small village on the Mpumalanga Highveld best known for its mountain streams brimming with trout - a paradise for fly fishing. It is the 2nd highest town on the Highveld (after Belfast) and lies 2100 m above sea-level.
This peaceful village embodies the best qualities of the typical South African dorp (town) in the platteland (country side). Proclaimed in 1893 it was named after a merchant - Mr. Dull, a Dutch citizen, who formed a committee in the Netherlands to assist the Boers financially during the 1899-1902 Anglo- Boer War. The 'stroom' section of the town's name is Afrikaans for a small river.
The town offers a collection of quaint shops and a number of restaurants, but its main attraction is its relaxed atmosphere and down to earth feeling. The Owl and Oak Trading Post and the Dullstroom Bird of Prey Centre on its premises make for a worthwhile stop. For a small village-like town there is a surprising choice of accommodations. Options range from simple garden cottages to five star lodges with stocked trout dams. At 2076 m above sea-level the village is home to the highest railway station in the country.
