According to local legend, this unique natural occurrence was said to have been created during a smoking contest between Dutch settler Van Hunks and the Devil in 1690. As the story goes, Van Hunks engaged in a fierce competition with the Devil atop Table Mountain, resulting in billowing clouds of smoke that enveloped the peak.

The silhouette of the mountain against a backdrop of swirling clouds creates a sense of mystery and wonder, inviting viewers to ponder the origins of this otherworldly sight.
