A famous viewpoint on the edge of the Drakensberg escarpment near the town of Graskop, looking down from a great height over the Lowveld plains stretching east; on clear days the view reaches tens of kilometres towards Kruger. It takes its name from the breadth of the scene, which seems like a window open onto the whole earth: rock faces dropping hundreds of metres, green forests and ridge after ridge melting into the horizon. From the car park a short path climbs through a small patch of rainforest to higher viewpoints, passing others along the cliff edge. Craft and souvenir stalls gather at the entrance. Entry carries a small fee at the gate. Mist is common here, especially in the rainy summer and in the afternoon, so arrive in the morning on a clear day or you may see nothing from the window.
