Amersfoort, Mpumalanga lies in the heart of the country's energy belt, just over the KwaZulu Natal border. Despite the serious industrial activity that takes place in this region, this part of Mpumalanga is known as Cosmos Country, as in late summer the open grasslands erupt in a kaleidoscope of pink and white cosmos flowers.
Although Amersfoort can be described as a "one horse town", the typical Cape Dutch gable and tin roof cottages are reminiscent of Amersfoort's historical period of Dutch colonisation, and the Dutch Reformed Church around which Amersfoort grew in 1888 still stands on Route 35.
Lying between Amersfoort and Volksrust in Mpumalanga is the Majuba Power Station, the largest producer of coal-fired electricity in the world. This busy Majuba Power Plant is the incentive behind Eskom's plans to convert the transport of coal from road to rail when they construct a R5.2 billion railway line from Ermelo in Mpumalanga to Majuba just outside Amersfoort.
Amersfoort accommodation is somewhat lacking, and travellers should make plans to find lodgings in Volksrust accommodation, about 30 minutes' drive south from Amersfoort, or Ermelo accommodation, if you're travelling from the North - both Volksrust accommodation and Ermelo accommodatiuon offer a variety of Bed & Breakfast, Guest Farm and Self Catering options.
Despite insufficient accommodation in Amersfoort, it does sport a fair 9 hole golf course with a driving range, and you'll find the Amersfoort Golf Club just off South Street
