Views of the steep Pinnacle Rock in the middle of a green gorge

Just a few minutes from Graskop a narrow rock pinnacle rises almost surreally from the green depths of the gorge: Pinnacle Rock. The rock is surrounded by dense vegetation, small waterfalls and the quietly flowing Ngwaritsane River.

A short path leads from the car park to several viewpoints. Depending on where you stand, the quartzite rock, around 30 metres high, appears either as a striking pillar in the midst of dense forests or as a contrast to the vastness of the valley. Mosses and ferns thrive in the humid climate and the constant mist from the waterfalls bathes the scene in a mysterious light.

You can easily slot a visit into any route along the R534. The entrance fee is low and payable on site. A short but worthwhile stop to take photos and enjoy the views.
