Parks & Nature
The Ouberg Pass is a much revered gravel road pass by adventure travellers. It is an impressive pass with an altitude gain of 820 meters over 10,4 km to produce a stiff average gradient of 1:13 but the steepest parts are at 1:5 - which is very steep! It traverses a ridge of the Roggeveld Mountains north-west of the Verlatenkloof Pass (which is on the R354), and summits at 1401m on the upper Karoo plateau and it's a 40 km drive from the summit into Sutherland.
