Attaquaskloof Oxwagon 4WD-Trail
Located in
South Africa :: Western Cape (Klein Karoo)
Category:
Activity :: 4WD-Trail
This is one of the great historical gravel passes which winds its way through the Outeniqua Mountains north of Mossel Bay. It has subsequently been replaced by a significantly more convenient, tarred pass (Robinson Pass). Attaquaskloof Pass is now frequented mostly by die-hard 4x4 enthusiasts and a few local farmers. However, the 22,3 km of gravel road is definitely worth each and every meter of its history-rich length! A permit is required to drive this route and there are locked gates. Keys are obtained on issue of your permit at the start point, which is the Bonniedale farm. Note - this route can only be driven in one direction (west to east). 30th May 2017 - News just in from Bonniedale farm: "The Attaquaskloof is part of the old Ox-Wagon Route from Heidelberg to de Vlugd. There is a section of it (20km) that goes through the Attaquaskloof to the R328. Unfortunately, Cape Nature has now closed their section of the road. You can still do part of the Trail on Bonniedale. (As well as other 4x4 Trails on Bonniedale), but you are not able to go all the way through. You can however use the alternate route (public road), from Bonniedale to the R328, and meet up again with the Ox-Wagon Route from there again." The 1890 farmhouse is at the start of the 20 kms 4X4 and hiking trail through the Attaquaskloof Nature Reserve.
The owners have an arrangement with Cape Nature whereby they maintain the trail and control the gate keys and collect R300 per vehicle.
