Mac-Mac Falls
A twin-tiered waterfall about 65 metres high. Legend says it was once a single fall until prospectors blasted the rock and split it in two. It is now a national monument.
Mac-Mac Falls lies beside the R532 between Sabie and Graskop, where the river divides into two streams that drop about 65 metres into a forested gorge. In the 19th-century gold rush, miners blasting the cliff top to search for gold supposedly split the falls in two. The name comes from the many Scottish miners, whose surnames began with "Mac", who gathered here at the time. The viewpoint is a short walk from the car park, and a small entrance fee applies. Nearby Mac-Mac Pool is a good spot for a picnic and a swim.
