Natural Bridge

This natural wonder is 2.3 km from Graskop on the R532 road to Sabie / Pilgrim's Rest.  Park at the curio stalls and follow the short footpath into a small gorge where the Mac Mac river carved a path under rocks to form a natural bridge.


This bridge was used more than a century ago when it was first used by the Voortrekkers and later by transport riders to cross the Mac Mac river. 
Softer Dolomite worn away...






The not so natural bridge that eventually replaced nature...

My photos aren’t so great... it was a dark and cloudy morning and footing was scarce
