Bothaville

The town lies on the banks of the Vals River where boating, fishing and swimming are popular. Game auctions (among the most important in the country) are held regularly on the farm Syfergat. The district produces maize in large quantities. Near Bothaville, the NAMPO Farm attracts more than 20 000 visitors every year. This is one of the largest private agricultural show centres in the world. The Maize Board has a permanent exhibition on various aspects of the maize industry at the farm.

Bultfontein

Bultfontein was established in 1874 on one side of the farm Kameeldoorns, with Hoopstad on the other. The Sand-Vet irrigation system waters this farming district

Christiana

Gripped by diamond fever in the 1870s, Christiana is a popular stopover between the Reef and Cape Town. Offerings include hot mineral springs, a well-stocked game reserve and excellent angling opportunities. A point of interest at Stows Kopje nearby, are the prehistoric rock engravings which were declared a national monument.

Hoopstad

In the heart of South Africa's richest maize producing district, Hoopstad is an important link to and from the Sandveld Nature Reserve, Bloemhof Dam, Welkom and the North West Province.

Virginia

Despite its rapid progress following the gold discoveries of the 1940s, the second largest city in the Central Free State has remained a beautiful, tranquil city enhanced by lovely gardens. The Sand River, on which it is set, is ideal for boating, water-skiing, fishing and swimming. A hiking trail along its banks is much frequented by bird-watchers. Nearby, a small game sanctuary supports a variety of antelope.
