Dasklip Pass

Dasklip Pass is situated in the Western Cape province of South Africa on an off-road near Porterville. The road provides access to the plateau in the Groot Winterhoek mountains and the Groot Winterhoek Wilderness Area; summiting at a height of 700 metres above sea level.[1] It was privately built by farmers located on the plateau. The road was upgraded to an asphalt road in the early 2000s.
