Cathedral Cave is one of the hidden gems within Golden Gate Highlands National Park in the Free State. This massive sandstone cavern is famous for its impressive rock formations, towering cliffs, and the way natural light filters through its vast interior, creating a cathedral-like atmosphere—hence the name. The cave is accessible via a guided hike, which offers visitors the chance to experience the park’s rugged beauty while learning about its geological and cultural significance. Not all visitors use guides.
The hike to Cathedral Cave is a moderate trail that includes bridges, wooden walkways, and some climbing sections, making it an adventurous and rewarding experience. Along the way, hikers can enjoy stunning views of the park’s grasslands, wildlife, and unique sandstone formations. The cave has historical and cultural significance, with evidence suggesting it was once used as a shelter by indigenous people. Today, it remains a popular destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts visiting Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
