Bourke’s Luck Potholes are a strange formation of huge cylindrical holes that have been carved by decelerating river water with sand particles. The small canyon and holes are geologically interesting, although may not warrant the R20 entrance fee. It is none the less a highlight and you should see it if you are in the area. There is a small museum with some geological information as well as floral and fauna of the area.
Berlin Falls is not nearly as beautiful as Lisbon Falls, but it is impressive. You can climb right up to the edge of falls which then falls over a completely vertical rock cliff. In the wet season, this falls is probably most amazing.There is no entrance fee. Security appears to be fine
Lisbon Falls is one of the best falls in the region. You can climb down a trail from the parking area and walk right up to the base of the falls where the water creates a lovely pool. The water is clear and crisp. It’s cold but take a dip if you wish. Behind the smaller falls is an old gold mine. You can climb up into the mine but it is very slippery and treacherous with all that water coming down on you.There is no entrance fee. Security appears to be fine

The Treur river plunges into the Blyde River and scaped this potholes in thousands of years. This natural water feature marks the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon. The Potholes were named after a gold digger, Tom Bourke, who staked a claim nearby. He was not lucky at all..... his claim did not produce a single ounce of gold. But he correctly predicted that large gold deposits would be found in the area.It is a great places to take pictures!
