Forests have very high biological diversity, e.g. 240 species of birds have been observed here.<\/p>\n<p>Phophonyane River here forms some 2 km long series of rapids, pools, and waterfalls, in total falling per some 240 m. The 80 m tall Phophonyane Falls are the highest. Waterfall does not form a vertical plunge \u2013 the stream slides down along a steep surface of gneiss.<\/p>\n<p>Legend<br \/>\nAccording to a legend this fall was created by lament of beautiful maiden, who lost her beloved. This man had to present a skin of leopard and went to hunt to Gobolondlo Mountain. Witches of this mountain seized him and man was turned into a white flower.<\/p>\n<p>Unique geology<br \/>\nWaterfall has formed on Phophonyane River, which flows here along a border of two ancient continental plates \u2013 Barberton Greenstone Belt.
