This beautiful pass, situated midway between Clarens and Fouriesburg in the Eastern Free State, is well-known and much-loved by motorists and motorcyclists alike. The road surface is excellent, the corners are cambered correctly, and the views over the entire length of the pass, particularly near the summit, are breathtaking. For history buffs – this is the location of one of the defining moments of the Anglo-Boer War when Bloemfontein was formally surrendered… hence the name.
The pass lies on the tarred R711, connecting the small towns of Fouriesburg and Clarens.
