Graskop

The Heart of the Panorama Route

Graskop is a charming mountain town perched on the edge of the Drakensberg escarpment. It serves as the ultimate base for travellers exploring the famous Panorama Route. The town is most famous for its dramatic scenery and its incredible culinary tradition of sweet and savoury pancakes. Adventure seekers head to the Graskop Gorge to experience the Big Swing or the spectacular Glass Lift. This lift descends into a lush indigenous forest where elevated walkways wind through the greenery. Nearby, you can witness iconic natural wonders like God’s Window and the Pinnacle Rock. Once a gold mining camp, the town now thrives as a peaceful retreat for artists and nature lovers. It offers cool mountain air and some of the most famous views in South Africa.
