The name Kerkenberg, spelled out in white stones on the side of the mountain.
When the front trek arrived in the Free State, there was a dispute about the eventual destination of the Great Trek. Piet Retief chose Natal. Here at the foot of the Kerkenberg, he lieft his laager on 7 October 1837, with 14 men to reconnoitre Natal in advance.
