De Vlugt is situated on the banks of the [[Keurbooms River]], approximately 55 km north of [[Knysna]]. It originated as a construction camp for the 270 convicts who built the Prince Alfred Pass in 1861. Later a small community emerged around the camp.<ref name=wts>{{cite web|title=De Vlugt|url=http://www.wheretostay.co.za/information/wc/kk/de-vlugt|publisher=Where to Stay|accessdate=10 January 2014}}</ref>
