3About Heilbron
Heilbron is a Free State farming town on the R34 and R70, easy to reach off the N3 near Villiers if you're heading down from Joburg or up from Durban. It's more of a pass-through stop for long hauls, think Pretoria (191 km) or even Chintsa way out on the Eastern Cape coast, than a quick local jol. Flat maize country all around, big open roads, and a skyline you can't miss, those massive grain silos next to the railway line, visible long before you hit town. Charge up in Sasolburg first, chargers are thin on the ground out here.
