\nFrom Wikipedia:
\n"God\u2019s Window is a popular vantage point along the Drakensberg escarpment, at the southern extremity of the Nature Reserve.
\nHere, sheer cliffs plunge over 700 metres to the lowveld. From this escarpment\u2014a mostly unbroken rampart of cliffs\u2014opens a vista into the lowvelt expanse and escarpment forests, the Eden-like aesthetic appearance of which prompted the name. On a clear day it is possible to see over the Kruger National Park towards the Lebombo Mountains on the border with Mozambique.
\nGod\u2019s Window features prominently in the plot of the 1980 cult film The Gods Must Be Crazy. Near the end of the movie, the Bushman character Xi (played by Namibian bush farmer N!xau) travels to God\u2019s Window, and due to some low-lying cloud cover believes it to be the end of the Earth."<\/p>\n

(Da Wikipedia:
\n"God’s Window ("finestra di Dio") \u00e8 un popolare punto d’osservazione nella scarpata del Drakensberg, all’estremit\u00e0 meridionale della riserva naturale.
\nIn questo posto, pareti a strapiombo si buttano per oltre 700 metri nel Lowveld, e da questo punto – un terrapieno per lo pi\u00f9 ininterrotto di rupi – si apre una prospettiva nella distesa del Lowvelt e nelle foreste della scarpata, il cui aspetto paradisiaco ne ha suggerito il nome. In una giornata luminosa \u00e8 possibile vedere il Kruger National Park fin verso le Lebombo Mountains al confine col Mozambico.
\nGod’s Window ha avuto un rilievo di primo piano nella trama del film cult del 1980 "The Gods Must Be Crazy" ("Ma che siamo tutti matti?"). Verso la fine del film, il personaggio boscimane Xi (interpretato dal contadino namibiano N!xau) va a God’s Window, ed a causa della copertura dovuta alle nuvole basse crede di essere arrivato alla fine della terra."<\/p>\n
