39 Steps Waterfall

The 39 Steps Waterfall is a popular natural attraction in Hogsback, Eastern Cape, reached via a short and easy walk of roughly 15 minutes.

The trail begins on Oak Avenue near the Village Green and passes through the town's arboretum, a living museum of tree species from around the world — including a Californian Redwood estimated to be over 100 years old.

Trees along the path are labeled with both their botanical and common names. The route leads past a small cascade before arriving at the main waterfall.

Because of its accessibility and central location within the village, the 39 Steps Waterfall is one of Hogsback's most visited sites and can also be combined with a longer hike taking in three other local waterfalls: Swallowtail Falls, Madonna & Child Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls.
