Ficksburg is also known for its delicate asparagus and juicy cherries, so try and get there in November for its annual cherry festival. Why not spend some time relaxing or hiking in the Golden Gate National Park enjoying the rare flowers and bird life with a magnificent backdrop of sandstone cliffs. Take a look at the map locations of Bethlehem, Ficksburg, Golden Gate National Park, Harrismith, Ladybrand and William Pretorius Game Reserve.
