Cherry Route
Free State sandstone country — Clarens galleries and Fouriesburg cherry farms in the Maluti foothills.
About this route
In the Free State foothills of the Maluti Mountains, sandstone cliffs glow gold at sunset and South Africa's only commercial cherry farms blossom each spring. Clarens is the artist village — galleries, breweries, and the gateway to the Golden Gate Highlands National Park. Fouriesburg sits closer to the cherries proper, with farm tours and the annual Cherry Festival every November. A slow weekend loop with mountain views, easy hikes, and small-town suppers.
