At the top of the pass, turn left at the "Witzenberg Valley" sign. At the bottom of the pass (just after teh Tru Cape sign) turn right and head down the valley (north). At the end of the tar road (approx 11.1km), carry on down, through the next farm till you reach a fork at the top of a hill (7.19km). Turn left (VISGAT BOERDERY). You then come to a bridge over the river at 12,5 km. Cross the bridge and follow the road to the right. At the first electricity pole on the right, turn immediately right.
