Fouriesburg
and its spectacular scenery
 |
Fouriesburg is a small farming community,
founded in 1892, and named after a local farmer - Christoffel Fourie.
The town is situated in the beautiful
Eastern Free State Highlands of South Africa, and surrounded by magnificent
views of mountains and colourful sandstone cliffs.
Activities available are 4x4 and
hiking trails, horse riding, trout fishing, abseiling, amongst others,
and visits to asparagus and cherry farms in season. |
| Accommodation for visitors comprises
a choice of Bed & Breakfast, full board, self-contained cottages, camping
and caravan sites.
Overlooking the majestic Maluti Mountains,
Fouriesburg is an ideal gateway to explore the Kingdom of Lesotho.
Katse Dam and the Lesotho Highlands
Water Scheme, the ski slopes in the South African winter, dinosaur footprints
and other historical sites as well as various arts & crafts centres
are all easily accessible via Caledonspoort border post, 9 kilometres from
Fouriesburg. |
 |
| The town was a stronghold of the
Boer forces during the Anglo-Boer War and briefly the site of President
Steyn's provisional government. Nearby (about 15 kilometres from
Fouriesburg) is Surrender Hill, which is a memorial to fallen British soldiers
and Boers. Four thousand Boers surrendered here and most were sent
to India as prisoners of war. |
