Vosburg
​
The little village of Vosburg is a surprising and tranquil oasis set in the wide open spaces of the upper Karoo. The early inhabitants of the village showed great foresight in lining the streets with a profusion of trees and the cool tree lined streets provide welcome relief from the relentless heat of the midday sun, particularly in summer when the temperature often rises into the upper forties. The streets are lined with cypress, poplar, carob, beefwood and pepper trees and there is a very pleasing grove of olive trees in the grounds of the stately Dutch Reformed Church.
The village has recently been linked to Carnarvon and Britstown with the newly tarred R384 road and gravel roads link Vosburg with Prieska in the north and Victoria West to the south via the R403. The village is best appreciated by foot and a stroll along the tree-lined streets reveals a rich array of Victorian and Edwardian era homes, mixed in together with some more modern buildings. Some 22 of the buildings in the village have been declared national monuments.
Vosburg

Die dorpie van Vosburg is 'n verrassende en rustige oase in die wye oop ruimtes van die bo-Karoo. Die vroeë inwoners van die dorp het groot vooruitsigte getoon in die strate met 'n oorvloed van bome en die koel boomgegradeerde strate bied 'n welkome verligting van die onophoudelike hitte van die middagson, veral in die somer wanneer die temperatuur dikwels in die boonste veertigerjare styg. Die strate is gevoer met sipres-, populier-, karob-, beesvleis- en peperbome en daar is 'n baie aangename olyfbome op die terrein van die statige Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk. Die dorp is onlangs met Carnarvon en Britstown verbind met die nuut geteerde R384-pad en grondpaaie verbind Vosburg met Prieska in die noorde en Victoria-Wes in die suide via die R403. Die dorp word die beste waardeer, en 'n wandeling langs die boomgaarde strate toon 'n ryk verskeidenheid Victoriaanse en Edwardiese huise, gemeng in kombinasie met sommige meer moderne geboue. Sowat 22 van die geboue in die dorp is as nasionale monument verklaar
