    The "Three Rondavels" ("Three Sisters") are three giant spirals made of dolomite rock and rise out of the back wall of the Blyde River Canyon with all its beauty. Their domed peaks are iced green and their sides are colored with fiery orange patches. From the "Three Rondavels" you can see the extensive Blyderiverspoortdam (Swadini Dam) in the distance, which forms the end of the beautiful route.

      A worthwhile stop on the "standard route coming from Johannesburg.

        A fantastic view of the canyon,
        as well as the gigantic rock formations.
        It drops 850 meters, making it the third-largest canyon in the world.
        And,
        if I remember correctly, you can read or deduce 350,000,000 million years from the rock layers...
