Gysmanshoek pass

The Gysmanshoek Pass follows an historical ox wagon route dating back to the mid 1700's. This is an old gravel pass through a natural cleft in the Langeberg Mountains between Heidelberg in the South and the Little Karoo/ Ladismith area in the North. It is driveable in a normal car in good weather, but if it's been raining, a 4x4 will be a better option. Depending on the weather, things can get tricky on this pass. Not too many people have travelled this delightfully scenic and off the beaten track, pass. It was originally named Hudson's Pass after the local magistrate
