redelinghuys

This short and fairly steep gravel pass is located on an isolated farm access road a few kilometers to the east of Redelinghuys in the Sandveld region. This pass is mainly used by 4x4 enthusiasts to access the Jakkalskloof 4x4 route - a tough and tricky route down steep inclines and through deep sand. The road is a dead-end, but a normal car will mange the pass to the farm house at the summit without any problems, but cars with low ground clearance might have some issues.

The Olof Bergh Pass is an official pass. However, it is nothing more than a fairly straight line traverse over a smallish neck between two 'koppies'. It has no sharp corners and the gradients are easy. What it lacks in in terms of tight corners and steep gradients, it makes up in history and pleasant country scenery. It connects the two Sandveld towns of Redelinghuys in the north with Aurora, about 30 km to the south.
