Sightseeing

It is strikingly beautiful and breathtaking. Built by Italian Prisoners of War, the sheer pass cuts up the mountain and provides a wonderful journey from Calitzdorp to Prince Albert onto Cape Town. It is very windy and steep, so careful driving is required. Admire the beautiful fauna and flora which is unique to this part of SA.
