点评:My wife and I travelled this pass heading south from Avontuur to Knysna on a Sunday in early March 2024. We were fortunate to have clear skies and warm weather throughout. This allowed us to appreciate the full splendour of the many breathtaking views and impressive engineering feat that Thomas Bain and the construction crew achieved.
In clear dry weather this pass is achievable in a normal sedan/saloon car, but I recommend using at least a 2-wheel drive SUV (as we used) to ensure you have sufficient ground clearance. If tackling the pass in wet weather then a 4 x 4 would be highly recommended.
If intending to use this pass I recommend familiarizing yourself beforehand with the excellent series of videos produced by Mountain Passes South Africa. This gives insight into what to expect and provides guidance on how best to drive the pass.
翻译:2024 年 3 月初的一个星期天,我和妻子从 Avontuur 向南前往克尼斯纳,途中我们很幸运,一路上天空晴朗,天气温暖。这让我们能够欣赏到托马斯·贝恩和施工队所创造的众多壮丽景色和令人印象深刻的工程壮举。
在晴朗干燥的天气里,乘坐普通轿车/轿车即可通过这条山路,但我建议至少使用两轮驱动 SUV(就像我们使用的一样),以确保有足够的离地间隙。如果在潮湿的天气中穿越这条山路,那么强烈建议使用四轮驱动车。
如果打算使用这条山路,我建议您事先熟悉南非山口制作的一系列精彩视频。这让您了解将会发生什么,并指导您如何最好地驾驶这条山路。
