Nuwekloof Pass, and easy drive, on the Western start of the Baviaanskloof, lies in the most spectacular section of Bain's road, completed in about 1890. It has numerous sharp curves, so make sure that you keep left at all times.

In times of heavy rains this pass is often close due to the low level crossings being flooded.
