Interesting facts about this location
Attakwaskloof Pass
Attakwaskloof Pass is situated in the Western Cape province of South Africa on the off-road between Mosselbay and Oudtshoorn. From early days a need for a link between the coast and the interior existed. With the arrival of settlers at the Cape, the need for a route between the Cape and the interior enjoyed a high priority and in 1689 the first documented crossing of the mountains over the Attakwaskloof took place. The Attakwaskloof Pass was used by elephants before the pass was built.
