This is a rainforest trail at the God's Window stop along the Panorama Route in the Mpumalanga Highlands of South Africa. It is situated along R534 around 6km past the Pinnacle Rock.
Opening hours are presently stated as 7am to 5pm daily and entry fee is now R17 per person (Sept 2019). There is parking for perhaps 50-60 vehicles in a long u-shaped parking area surrounding a large number of curio stalls. There are toilet facilities here as well.

The price is a bit high though for the experience and you need to be there before 3pm to have a nice sun without too...
Read moreStunning place and amazing views from the rain forest. Really breath taking take a moment to enjoy in awe the beauty. You are also able to see far on a clear day. You should be able to see Mozambique mountain range. In the rain forest there is so much to see so many interesting things in nature if studied carefully. Just a bit of a walk to to top but so worth it in the end. God's window is amazing...
