Graskop has a very mild climate in contrast with the extreme heat of the surrounding lower lying areas, and Graskop is located in a MALARIA FREE area. It is on the edge of the Klein Drakensberg escarpment, with spectacular views of the lowveld, almost 1000 meter's below. The gold mining days are long gone and Graskop now has a thriving timber industry. The plantations are some of the largest man made forests in the world. You cannot fail to notice endless rows of pine and eucalyptus trees as you cruise the hills and valleys of this beautiful area.
Like many towns in the area, Graskop originated as a gold mining camp in the 1880’s and still has something of the feel of a Wild West town for new adventurers, nature-lovers, hikers and travellers... [edit text]
