Calvinia
This attractive Karoo town lies in one of the largest wool-producing districts in South Africa. The Calvinia Museum, housed in an old Art Deco synagogue in Church Street, focuses on farming, transport and the lifestyle of the early inhabitants. The Tourism Office in the museum arranges guided walking tours of the town's special places of interest. Two trails through the Akkerendam Nature Reserve offer opportunities to admire the lovely flowers found only in this region. Annual event: Hantam Meat Festival- last week in August.

Nieuwoudtville
Nieuwoudtville is known for its unique vegetation and the 100m high Nieuwoudtville Falls, on the Doring River. Nieuwoudtville has a vast variety of plant life. Ten kilometres south of town, the Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve spans 5577 ha and offers hiking trails and excellent bird watching opportunities, as it is home to several rare bird species.

Sutherland
This is the principal astronomical centre in Africa. The South African Astronomical Observatory, about 14 km outside town, is said to be one of the best observatories in the southern hemisphere.
