Why go
Graskop is the practical hub of the Panorama Route — a forestry town perched on the escarpment, minutes from God's Window, Burke's Luck Potholes, and the Blyde River Canyon viewpoints.
What we love
The Blyde River Canyon viewpoints and the Graskop Gorge Lift.
What to know
4h from Johannesburg; a car is essential. Often foggy — viewpoints are weather-dependent.
