Graskop Things to Do Tips by Waxbag Top 5 Page for this destination

Berlin Falls

Berlin Falls is not nearly as beautiful as Lisbon Falls, but it is impressive. You can climb right up to the edge of falls which then falls over a completely vertical rock cliff.

There are many vendors selling curios at the top of the falls.

Address: Mpumalanga, South Africa

Directions: The Falls are about 15 kms away from Graskop on route to Blyde River along the R532

Lisbon Falls and Rainbows

Lisbon Falls is one of the best falls in the region. You can climb down a trail from the parking area and walk right up to the base of the falls where the water creates a lovely pool. The water is clear and crisp. It’s cold but take a dip if you wish. Behind the smaller falls is an old gold mine. You can climb up into the mine but it is very slippery and treacherous with all that water coming down on you.
There is no entrance fee. Security appears to be fine

Address: Mpumalanga, South Africa

Directions: The falls is located off of R532 about 8 kms from Graskop

Bourke’s Luck Potholes

Bourke’s Luck Potholes are a strange formation of huge cylindrical holes that have been carved by decelerating river water with sand particles. The small canyon and holes are geologically interesting, although may not warrant the R20 entrance fee. It is none the less a highlight and you should see it if you are in the area. There is a small museum with some geological information as well as floral and fauna of the area.

Address: Mpumalanga, South Africa

Directions: On the R532 towards Blyde River Canyon
