Lisbon Falls in Thaba Chweu Rural, Mpumalanga
The Lisbon Falls, just north of Graskop, on the R532, separates into a treble cascading drop of 92 metres over a semi-circular rock face. It is the highest falls in the Graskop/Sabie area and got its name from the Portuguese capital by the Portuguese who came to live in South Africa in the gold rush days. The creek bed is typical of the area where early diggers panned for gold.
