The Sepree River is a short mountain river that is sourced deep within the Kouga mountain range in South Africa. Roughly 15 kilometers from its source, it flows into the larger Kouga River. It starts up near Saptokop peak and flows east approximately 5 km before turning south for 10 or so kilometers. At the confluence with the Kouga River, it had to cut through a 30 m high section of sandstone. This small canyon is only 20 m wide. The temperature of the especially clear water averages 16 degrees Celsius annually.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“It is from quiet places like this all over the world that the forces accumulate which presently will overbear any attempt to accomplish evil on a large scale. Like the rivulets gathering into the river, and the river into the seas, there come from communities like this streams that fertilize the consciences of men, and it is the conscience of the world that we are trying to place upon the throne which others would usurp.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
