Basic Trail Description

This trail is a 2-day backpacker's trail (13km & 9km). You can start from either the Bermanzi or Five Assegais sides. From both sides you are gradually descending through rapidly changing sceneries of impressive rocks, krans, bush, mountain streams and waterfalls, to the Bank Spruit Gorge. You go through an indigenous forest with a great variety of trees and birdlife.

You also pass cultural and historical sites. You often follow the contour also used by bushbuck, kudu and mountain reedbuck with a beautiful view over the Komati Valley. The climax of the trail is the impressive Bride's Leap Waterfall (also known as the Uitkoms Waterfall, being the second highest waterfall in Mpumalanga).
