Pilgrim's Rest
Pilgrim's Rest, a historic village which is now a National Monument, was established in 1873 when the first significant gold strike in South Africa was made in the area. Mining operations ceased in 1971. The Transvaal Provincial Administration purchased the village in 1974 and have restored the historic attractions of the old gold rush days. The original post office is now a museum.
The local hotel, originally a chapel, which was transported from Maputo, contains many historical relics. The Mac Falls and the Mac Pools offers picnic and bray facilities. The pools form a natural swimming-pool. The name of the falls was derived from the town of Mac Mac, an old mining camp, so named because of the number of miners of Scottish descent. In the same area are the Forest Falls.
