Table Mountain is perhaps best known as the name of the iconic mountain dominating the city of Cape Town in South Africa, a declared World Heritage Site. Known as Tafelberg in Dutch and Afrikaans, the mountain often features as the topic and/or setting for myths, stories, plays, films and the like.
In fact there are a number of flat-topped mountains in the world with this name, including a mountain in Suriname, a hill in Curaçao and a mountain in Baden-Württemberg, Germany (there known as "Täfelberg").
