Harrismith,
named after Sir Harry Smith, is a large town in the Free State province
of South Africa, situated on the N3 highway approximately midway between
Johannesburg, about 300 km north-east, and Durban. The town is at the junction
with the N5 highway, which continues west towards the provincial capital
Bloemfontein, around 340 km south-west.
This
important crossroads in South Africa's land trade routes is surrounded
by mesas and buttes and located at base of one of these called Platberg
("Flat Mountain" translated from Afrikaans). |
| Harrismith
is well known as a convenient refuelling stop for trucks, vehicles and
people but it has much more to offer. Beyond the highway is a tidy town
with many elegant late 19th century buildings made of hewn sandstone. There
are numerous Bed & Breakfast places catering to visitors. Located near
the scenic eastern escarpment border with KwaZulu-Natal Province, it is
the best access point to the Northernmost Drakensberg including Tugela
Falls and Mont-Aux-Sources (accessed via the Sentinel Hiking Trail, in
the Qwaqwa region of the Free State, 80 km South of Harrismith on the R57),
Sterkfontein Dam Nature Reserve (20 km southeast of town on the R74), Royal
Natal Park and the uKhahlamba / Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site (66km
southeast via Oliviershoek Pass beyond Sterkfontein Dam) and the spectacular
Golden Gate Highlands National Park 50 km south of town on the R712.
