One of the great sites in Meiringspoort is that of the waterfall. About 12 km from De Rust the waterfall is well hidden in a deep ravine. This spectacular fall with water that streams down a 60 meters smooth rock face, ends in a 9 meters deep rock pool.

Don’t forget to hike up to the waterfall, where you can cool off on those hot Karoo summer days or get an elevated view of the poort’s spectacular scenery. [Important note: Sadly, the waterfall is not wheelchair accessible and can only be reached with a short hike leading up concrete steps.] The wildlife in Meiringspoort is wonderfully diverse.
