TRANQUILITY CRACKS

Table Mountain is home to countless trails and points of interest, but none will leave you in awe like the the deep, narrow cracks, passages and sculptures of Tranquility Cracks. The Cracks are one of the city's best-kept secrets and you have to go there to see the magic.

Essentially the Cracks are a series of passageways and narrow slits and fractures in the sandstone, most of which are wide enough to wriggle through. From atop, the Cracks are almost invisible but for those less inclined to squeezing around the maze, the views above are magnificent and there are stunning natural rock sculptures looking over the Western Table.

The Cracks lie just off the Kasteelpoort-Llandudno Ravine path but finding them has remained a mystery to most hikers due to the lack of a clear path to the actual Cracks.
