Ficksburg is a town situated at the foot of the 1,750 meter high Imperani Mountain in Free State province, South Africa.

Ficksburg is a lovely little mountain village on the banks of the Caledon River that’s home to some fine sandstone buildings, keep an eye out for the hall and the post office. Nestled into the purple-hued Maluti range, Ficksburg is particularly fetching in winter, when dollops of snow cover the craggy peaks. Mild summers and cold winters make this area perfect for growing asparagus, apples and stone fruits, and Ficksburg is the entire of the Free State’s cherry industry. The Cherry Festival takes place in November, but September and October are the best times to see the trees in full bloom.
