Graskop is in the Mpumalanga Province of north-west South Africa. It was set up in the 1880s as a gold mining camp but it now serves as a tourist destination and the timber industry. “God’s Window”, a scenic view from the escarpment of the Lowveld below, is near the town.

Just a little travertine-like wayside on the north side of Graskop next to a rushing creek.
These falls are accessed via some short trails and are also pretty captivating though perhaps not as big as some of the others.
Take "The Big Swing", if you're not afraid of heights.
