Heidelberg

Situated only 50 kilometres from the cosmopolitan city of Johannesburg, the sleepy town of Heidelberg features a rich history, magnificent natural surrounds and well-preserved Victorian architecture. This town serves as a perfect base for visitors to explore the surrounding areas as it is conveniently located along a South African national road. With humble beginnings originating from a single German trading store, Heidelberg has grown into a thriving town. Visitors can roam around the charming town centre and visit several historical sites including: the Heidelberg Transport Museum and the historical Dutch Reformed church. The undeniable highlight of this area is the neighbouring Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve, home to diverse fauna and flora and popular with hikers, cyclists and nature lovers.
