VILLIERS
The tourism related nature of specifically Villiers adjacent the Vaal River should be enhanced focusing on low density residential development on the riparian areas and “recreation and tourist” attractions as indentified in the Vaal River Complex Regional Structure Plan. Attractions include;

Fishing
Carp and Yellow Fish abound in this part of the Vaal River and Villiers provides many spots (with or without facilities) for anglers to spend on this popular pastime.

Bird Watching
Bird watchers can visit lodges in the area, or just scout along the river banks (for example in the Eucalyptus “woods” West of the steel bridge) for the many bird species that are inhabitant to the area.

Hiking
Many official hiking trails can be found in the area, while the more adventurous can take a stroll along surrounding koppies and river banks.
