One of the most beautiful of all the falls especially when in full flow. There is a large craft market here too where local ladies sell their handmade goods.

From Graskop, the road rises up to the edge of the escarpment that looks over the "Lowveld" at the bottom of South Africa's central highlands. This warmer more tropical region stretches past Kruger Park to the Mozambique coast. Besides the wild area of the Kruger, there are many groves of subtropical fruits, mangos, bananas, pineapples, avocadoes, citrus, macadamia nuts and vast areas of sugar cane. God's Window is a very popular viewpoint which is easily reached in a few minutes from the car park. But above it and after a healthy walk you reach a small rain forest with rare plants and trees indigenous to just this location and after walking through it you reach another stunning viewpoint.

The Blyde River which later forms the kilometer-deep canyon is joined here by the Treur River before it descends to the Canyon. The legend has it that there was a party of Boers with their families travelling through the area. They camped by the Treur River and the men left them to go on a hunt. They were gone for many days causing some worry to the womenfolk and children. They did return unscathed and when they camped the next day beside another river they called them the Treur ( sad) and the Blyde ( happy) rivers. The scouring action of the rapid-flowing rivers joining together has formed beautiful and fascinating shapes in the rocks of the rivers' beds.

We usually proceed to the Three Rondawels viewpoint which gives the best views both down into the Canyons depths and over it to the round-topped mountains called the Three Rondawels because of their similarity to the African round huts by the same name

If you are proceeding to Kruger Park Lodges adjacent to Hoedspruit ( e.g.Orpen Gate, Timbavati, Manyaleti, Satara, Letaba and Olifants) from Johannesburg/Pretoria then you will cross the Abel Erasmus Pass or if doing this tour in reverse by returning to Joburg/Pretoria from lodges near or in these places you will also cross Abel Erasmus Pass. Charecterised by towering cliff walls on either side of the road that block out the sun the pass undulates up and down many times and there is a tunnel to be traversed. in the middle of it This pass has got one of the world's few tufa waterfalls. The waterfalls edge actually grows outwards due to high concentrations of calcium dissolved in the water getting deposited along the flow bed. At the bottom of the pass you may see a baobab tree or two as this is the southern limit of this trees habitat.Beneath you is the Olifants River that flows on through the Kruger to join the Limpopo in Mozambique.
