Mpumalanga - Graskop
Graskop
In the 1850’s a renowned eastern Transvaal character Abel Erasmus known to the Africans as Dubula Duzé (he who shoots at close range) had a farm called Graskop (grassy hill). From here he exercised rough justice as the native commissioner of the lowveld.
Today Graskop is the terminus of the branch railway from Nelspruit and a centre of a substantial timber industry.
From Graskop the scenic Panoramic Route leads northwards along the edge of the escarpment to the Blyde River Canyon. God’s Window is 10km from Graskop and is the start of the Blyde River Hiking Trail which passes Fann’s Falls, New Chum Falls and the Bourke’s Luck potholes. The final day is marked by the Three Rondavels and a dramatic suspension bridge across the river.
