 Many hiking trails lead through the quiet mountain world. The vegetation is nowadays mainly grassland in the valleys and Protea savannah at medium altitude. In some places one can still find remnants of the original mountain rainforest. Above all are towering the mighty mountain peaks, the Giant's Castle (3314 m) in the south, the Mafadi (3446 m) and the Injasuti Dome (3409 m) in the north.The park is rich in game. Besides the Eland antelopes, there are large populations of reedbuck and blessbuck, duiker and klipspringer. Besides the vultures there are other big birds of prey like African crowned eagle, Verreaux's eagle, Jaccal buzzard |
