Jantjieshoek Pass
Jantjieshoek Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.001m (6,564ft) above the sea level, located in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Think carefully before driving this pass, especially if poor weather is threatening and you are not in a 4WD vehicle.
The road is winding, in some places only wide enough for one vehicle, and in many places bordered by a drop of hundreds of meters (many hundreds of feet) unprotected by guardrails. Only for 4x4 vehicles and even then, conditions should be carefully assessed. With gradients measuring at 1:5, this pass is hugely problematic in wet or snow conditions.
