droekloof pass

This fairly long pass offers an easy drive on a safe, well constructed main route - the N12 - between Beaufort West and Oudtshoorn in the vicinity of Klaarstroom. When approaching from the north, this is the first set of mountains the N12 traverses after more than 100 km of almost arrow straight flat driving over the vast plains of the Karoo.  The poort is named after the Droekloof Mountains, through which the pass winds. The name translates into Dry Ravine or Passage.
