The second waterfall on the Krom River is the dramatic finale of the popular out-and-back trail in Du Toits Kloof. Tall and narrow, it plunges into an emerald plunge pool set within a natural rock amphitheatre — a reward well worth the effort to reach it.

Getting there requires a short but serious 10-metre climb aided by a chain ladder fixed to a steep, exposed rock face to the left of the first waterfall.

The rock can be extremely slippery when wet, and hikers are advised to exercise great caution — some sources recommend carrying a rope. Once past the chains, a short scramble over boulders leads to the falls.

The second waterfall is more secluded than the first and better suited to older, more confident hikers.
