点评:The town of Pilgrims Rest is beautiful so this is in no way a reflection of the town. We attempted to take the scenic road to Bourkes Potholes and I would warn you not to take the Vaalhoek Road. The local authorities have neglected this beautiful and historic road for years. We managed to get 17 km down the road over huge potholes, rutted areas and large rocks. 10 km from the end of the road going towards Vaalhoek we gingerly worked our way down another bad spot only to discover that the uphill route out of the stream bed was absolutely impassable with the road ripped up and large rocks littered around. Mpumalanga tourism should be totally embarrassed by this as they advertise this as a scenic route. Shame on them and the Mpumalanga government.
翻译:朝圣者休息站 (Pilgrims Rest) 风景优美,所以这绝对不能反映出这座城市的本质。我们尝试走风景优美的道路前往伯克斯壶穴 (Bourkes Potholes),但我要提醒大家千万不要走瓦尔霍克路 (Vaalhoek Road)。当地政府多年来一直忽视这条美丽而历史悠久的道路。我们好不容易才沿着这条路走了 17 公里,路上坑坑洼洼、车辙纵横,还翻过巨大的岩石。在距离路的尽头往瓦尔霍克方向走了 10 公里后,我们小心翼翼地沿着另一个路况糟糕的路走下去,却发现从河床出来的上坡路根本无法通行,道路被毁,到处都是大石头。普马兰加省的旅游业应该为此感到羞愧,因为他们把这条路宣传为风景优美的路线。他们和普马兰加省政府都感到羞耻。
