Upon arriving in the Free State town of Fouriesburg, we were filled with excitement, and rightfully so. The town welcomed us with its picturesque charm, boasting beautiful old sandstone buildings adorned with quaint restaurants and hospitable locals. Our exploration led us to notable landmarks like the Dutch Reformed Church and the historic Fouriesburg Country Inn, each adding to the town's allure. However, the highlight of our visit was stumbling upon the Meiringskloof Nature Park, where chalets and camping sites were nestled amidst stunning natural surroundings. Our experience in Fouriesburg left a lasting impression, truly showcasing the town's captivating beauty and hospitality. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #Fouriesburg #freestate

Meiringskloof was stunning

@user-se3we1et5o 2 ай бұрын

Kudos to the town council and municipality for maintaining their town in the impeccable condition it is presented in. They must take immense pride in all they do to showcase an organised and litter-free place they call home. As do the inhabitants! I would think the potholes that have been filled has been funded by the ratepayers. Beautiful stone church you managed to visit the interior of, with the organist at full steam as well! The fire engine (circa 1970 and still in working condition!!!!!) was a nice surprise. The country inn, steakhouse and Meiringskloof are all worthy of a visit I think. I am well impressed with Fouriesburg and have added it to my "Must Visit" bucket list, perhaps en route to Lesotho. Awesome find. Thank you.

You can see the town is proud of itself. Everything is so well cared for and clean and I am sure if they had the money they would fix their own roads too.

I love Fouriesburg. I went there with my parents a few years, ago and we stayed in the most amazing accommodation. Our outlook was the mountain. The Church is so beautiful. I think Fouriesburg was a Kwêla town of the year one year. I hope you are going to Clarens now. Golden Gate is awesome too. You will love it. Thank you for the lovely visit down memory lane foe me.

Hi you two! Thank you for taking me on this wonderful trip. This beautiful town lacks nothing! From a the old stone church (with live organ music!) to the stunning Nature Park, bars and an old inn. Wonderful ! The quiet tree-lined streets with stone buildings also touched my heart. I'm ready for the next trip. Keep safe inn the windy Strand!

Hi guys another free state gem the town was so clean and tidy beautiful sandstone buildings plenty of hotels it seems to me quite a affluent town with manicured gardens the country Inn had a atmosphere of bygone days very elegant ( with a ladies bar aswell) .Sonia summed it up perfectly specially 👌 so lucky that the organist was playing. Curtis you always find something different vintage fire engine and able to get inside!!! .again a Hugeunot connection. What can I say about the caravan park I bet campers from all over the world would love to go there mountains lush vegetation and amazing walks. Amazing video thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one

Great video and makes my list of favourite visits. Awesome to hear the organist playing in such a beautiful church. Buildings are just amazing and my admiration to the people who have restored them and are caring for these establishments.

Fouriesburg tourism thrives mostly because its near Clarens which is also tourism attraction... and also because of the people working in Lesotho mines and dams in the Highlands... anyway thanx again for the great video🙏

I knew a lot of Fourie's in Namibia. Good gang. Love the verdant area, town, and the mountain ranges in the Orange Free State. I'll never call it otherwise. Hey, send that guy back to driving school! 😂😊 Saw the Willie's Jeep. I live in the US County, where they originate (Butler).

If I recall what my Ouma said, the town hall was like a commons building , which served as a school and had other communal purposes too for some time . She went there at one stage in here early child hood , 1920's about . They had family all along the Lesotho boarder , up to a place called Hobhouse . During the second Boer war , her dad or granddad, not sure. had a few schemes in and around Fouriersburg , one was to have his farmstall designated a school and he ran a boarding school for "illegitimate" children , this way he was paid well to keep secrets , also got the state to sponsor him "school" supplies . I know my ouma had a chuckle about how he used the horses the state would give him , intended to transport children , to do work for him on the farm .

How was the road from Ficksburg to Fouriesburg? It was wrecked when we visited Sandstone Estate in 2022. I mean wrecked.

@DustBugsTravel 2 ай бұрын

It had potholes in places, but we didn't find it that bad. It certainly does sound like there's been some improvement since you last travelled there. 🚙🛣️

Thank you for watching our video of our visit to Fouriesburg. 🚙😁 I find it so interesting that you would only comment on what we didn't see, but not a single thing we did see. We choose to see our travels differently.
