Mountain Pass Moodies Pass (Summit 377m)

ID: w219634 View large map

Located in South Africa :: Western Cape (Garden Route)
Category: Scenic Routes :: Mountain Pass

Moodies Pass is not known by many and taken for granted by those who use it on a daily basis. It is situated on the gravel road designated as the R322, and connects the Moravian settlement of Suurbraak to the West with Heidelberg to the East. It primarily serves the farming community and those adventure and nature lovers wanting to access the Boosmansbos Wilderness area and Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve. The pass is on the short side at 3,34 km but it rises a substantial 185m vertical meters over that distance to produce an average gradient of 1:18 with the steeper sections being at 1:6.

He was Benjamin Moodie, the 10th Laird of Melsetter.He built a stone store at Port Beaufort (Witsand) in 1820 and opened a shipping concern in partnership with Cape merchants, Robertson and Venning' (SA Place Names)” - Chris Smit, 2024/08/19
