The Panorama Route
Just next to the Highlands Meander is The Panorama, which abounds with breathtaking views from natural wonders along the eastern slopes of the escarpment. There is God's Window and the world's third largest canyon and biggest green canyon, the Blyde River Canyon. There are also the astonishing Bourke's Luck Potholes and three rondawels. The towns of Lydenburg and White River are gateways to the route, which takes visitors through the quaint towns of Pilgrim's Rest, a living museum dating back to the hey days of the gold rush, as well as Sabie, Graskop, Ohrigstad and Hazyview. Nature enthusiasts will discover cascading water falls while adrenaline junkies can get their next rush by bungee jumping, white water rafting or going on rigorous 4x4 and quad trails. More gentler pursuits include hot air ballooning, walking trails and gold panning.

The Blyde River Canyon is the third largest canyon in the world (and the largest ‘‘green canyon’’). The Grand Canyon in the US is the biggest, and second place goes to the Fish River Canyon in Namibia.
The rocks around Barberton in Mpumalanga are some of the most ancient in the world - over three billion years old. South Africa has the oldest meteor scar in the world. The meteor plummeted to Earth nearly two billion years ago, predating the heady days of oxygen and multi-celled life. The Vredefort Dome was recently declared a World Heritage Site
South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are tearing down fences between the countries’2’ game parks to create a 35 000 square kilometers game park which will become the largest conservation area in the world.

In the 1850's, the Graskop area was a farm owned by Abel Erasmus,
an adventurous character involved in hunting, prospecting and
imposing law and order in the area. He was known among the local
tribesman as Dubala Duzi ' He who shoots at close range'.
Graskop is also famous for Jock of the Bushveld which dates between
1885 and 1887. Paradise berg is where Sir Percy Fitzpatrick
established his paradise camp, and two chapters in his book, namely'
Paradise camp and the Leopard' and 'The Baboons' are set in this
area.
In 1873, gold was discovered in nearby Pilgrim's Rest and by 1911 a
railway to the area........................More
God's Window at an altitude of 1730 m, offers magnificent views
across the Lowveld, Kruger National Park and the Lebombo mountain
range in the distance. The nature reserve at God’s Window includes a
rain forest and beautiful Aloe gardens scattered with large outcrops
of sandstone, weathered into haunting prehistoric shapes. A trail
leads through the rain forest along the escarpment edge towards
Wonder View affording panoramic views over a vast expanse of the
Lowveld. Lisbon Falls are a spectacular 95m treble cascade that
tumbles into the dark green pools far below. Lisbon creek is typical
of the area where early diggers panned for gold. Berlin Falls were
named after the farm on which they are situated and are 45m high.
They originated as a result of the differential weathering
resistance of the local rocks. The scene should not be missed as
there are some excellent vantage points revealing the entire drop.
Bourke's Luck Potholes at the confluence of the Treur and Blyde
rivers is one of the most remarkable geological phenomena in the
country Through millions of years, the swirling whirlpools which
occur at the confluence, have caused water born sand and rocks to
grind deep cylindrical potholes into the bedrock of the rivers. The
potholes are named after Tom Burke who recognised the gold potential
of the area. He became involved with the mining enterprise which
owned the properly. However, there is an element of irony in the
name, as the main find of gold was not on their ground but on the
opposite side of the river.
Blyde River Canyon. A scenic spectacle, the Blyde River Canyon lies
within the 27,000 hectares of the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve,
a 57 km belt which runs north from Graskop along the escarpment.
Owing to variations in altitude, temperature and-rainfall, a great
diversity of vegetation occurs. On the high-lying southern section
which has a high rainfall, extensive grassy slopes and dense areas
of rain forest with yellow wood, boekenhout, forest silver trees,
etc. and ferns are to be found. The central area has mixed Sour Bush
veld and thorn trees, while the northern area and foothills are
known as the Lowveld .........................More
