SÜDAFRIKA (South-Africa) , Am Blyde-River Canyon, Richtung Three Rondavels vom view-point aus , 22198

Die Panorama Route in den Ausläufern der Drakensberge im Osten Südafrikas ist besonders bekannt für seine schönen Aussichten. Highlights sind der Blyde River Canyon im Blyde River Canyon Nation Reserve mit den markanten Three Rondavels.

 

Affords stunning views up the canyon, to the glistening Blydepoort Dam at the far end surrounded by forested slopes. The rocky cones of the Three Rondavels formations are just visible, and you can see over the ridge to the hazy plains on the far side.

The Three Rondavels are three round, grass-covered mountain tops with somewhat pointed peaks. They quite closely resemble the traditional round or oval rondavels or African homesteads, which are made with local materials. Sometimes they are also called the Three Sisters, though this may confuse them with a similar threesome visible from the N1 road in the Northern Cape, very far to the south.
