Outstanding birding
A Photographer’s dream
Numerous hikes
“Vrederus is more than just quality flyfishing in virgin streams and large stillwaters; it boasts an impressive ornithological potpourri, with in excess of 172 listed bird species in the area.”
– Gerhard Weldhagen.
Birding at Vrederus
The birding and scenery around Vrederus is something else. Not only is there a great variety of bird species, there are excellent numbers of certain rare and restricted species to see – most notably the cranes and waterfowl. The lake, rocky ridges and vleis will keep birders busy for ages.
Photography Opportunities
An unexpected joy at Vrederus is the opportunities for landscape photography. The continually changing seasons and cloud formations make Vrederus one of the most photogenic landscapes in the country and whether you are an amateur photographer armed with a smart phone or passionate about lighting, you are guaranteed to leave with some of the best landscape shots you will ever take.
