Article Pic 2

February the 25th is the one day of the year when you can visit numerous stalls on private farms and in historic Friemersheim during the annual Fragrance Fest. Come and enjoy this annual Fest between Great Brak and Friemersheim – arrive early with a picnic blanket and cooler bag, and travel at leisure along the circular tar/gravel road of 40 km.
The 2nd fun Milk Tart Competition, a birding event, an informal ride for cyclists, a new Friemersheim DIY walk/drive, tours at the Kobus Halliday Car Museum, the annual “Hap & Stap” to the Hakuna Matata lions, the Volkwyn Family Reunion … all this and much more will be happening on the scenic Fragrance Route on Saturday!
This year a Proe Safari is planned with interesting eats at every stop (“braai” is a definite theme). Buy proteas and plants at Santa Bonné, Friemersheim Kwekery, The Pink House and Hakuna Matata. Local products include exclusive Minda du Plessis tableware, new Pick Me body & home products, painted cakes from Lola’s Delights, Leeukloof Cheese, SharLeBel Mushrooms, etc.
Most venues are open from 07h00/08h00 until 16h00/17h00, but check the different times and plan your trip accordingly. Enjoy vistas of fynbos-covered countryside and majestic mountains along the way – and keep an eye open for game on the Kleinvlei Road. Great for bird watching and photography; you can also cycle the route or visit by motor bike.
