Lisbon Falls

The highest waterfall in Mpumalanga, with a drop of about 94 metres that splits into several streams and plunges into a deep pool. A clifftop viewing area offers a panoramic view.

Lisbon Falls lies about 8 km north of Graskop, beside the R532. The river falls from a cliff about 94 metres high, splitting into two or three streams that plunge into the deep pool below. It is the highest waterfall in Mpumalanga. Its name comes from early gold prospectors' nostalgia for the Portuguese capital. A few minutes' walk from the car park leads to a viewpoint at the top of the cliff, and a path along the edge offers views from several angles. Take care in areas without railings. A small entry fee applies, and there are craft stalls nearby. It lies only a few kilometres from Berlin Falls, and the two are often visited together.
