Who are we?
Our Mission
Koedoeslaagte Trail Park and Venue, located in the Vredefort Crater UNESCO World Heritage Site near Parys (Free State), offers a unique blend of history and nature. The park, steeped in the rich heritage of the Great Trek, features monuments and ruins from the Voortrekkers and the Battle of Blood River. Since 1972, the natural vegetation has flourished, creating an unspoiled African wilderness on the banks of the Vaal River. Visitors can explore trails for hiking, trail running, mountain biking, and horse riding, or paddle the open waters and islands. Our mission is to preserve and share this unique heritage and natural beauty, providing an unparalleled outdoor experience where history and nature intertwine.
