Area Info
Vryheid offers a hiking trail, various, historical sites to see and the Vryheid nature reserve which is abundant in animal and bird life.
Vryheid lies close to the site of one of the more infamous battles of the Battlefields Route, the battle of Blood River, fought on the river of the same name in 1838 when the Boers confronted the Zulus under Dingaan. Vryheid was intrinsically involved in the subsequent Anglo-Boer War of 1899, making it one of the more interesting towns on the Battlefields route - a route that traces the myriad battlefield sites and memorials dotted across the surrounding countryside.
