We recently enjoyed another mountain pass of
South Africa - a round trip from
Calitzdorp via
Red Stone Hills,
Kruis River to
Swartberg Pass and back again....
Gravel roads,
Mazda CX 5 - a drive of incredible beauty and well worth a caked layer of dust on the vehicle !
We stopped at
Kobus se Gat for a delicious breakfast - this is an ideal stop for breakfast, tea or lunch.
Crisp mountain air, glorious views and friendly service.
About 13 kms from
Calitzdorp, you turn off left to Kruis River and the Nels River Valley
which emerges at the junction of the R328 to the Cango Caves and
Swartberg Pass. At this point, turn right for Oudtshoorn or left if you
would like to go to Prince Albert.
We only went to the top of the pass this time as we had visited Prince Albert on another trip.
Meeting folk at stopping points on the mountain is always a treat - one such couple were from Swansea, Wales and had been enjoying a full month of travel in South Africa. Hearing foreigners raving about our beloved country is very heart-warming and just reinforces the fact that we live in one of the most beautiful and diverse countries on the planet.
