This lovely gravel road traverses the mountain ridge immediately to the north of Sedgefield in the heart of the Garden Route. The 7.3 km long drive offers a wide variety of scenery including lakes, estuaries, indigenous forests and mountains, plus a bird's eye view of Sedgefield itself. The careful observer might spot one of the resident fish eagles soaring the ridges. It is possible to drive the route in a normal car, but some of the sections on the western side can get quite sandy during the summer months. The road becomes fairly busy over weekends, when the paragliding fraternity head for the summit area to launch their colourful paragliders.
