Hogsback Pass

32°36′48.9″S 26°54′48.3″E / 32.613583°S 26.913417°E / -32.613583; 26.913417 Hogsback Pass is situated in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa on the regional road R345, between Alice and Cathcart.[1] It was built in 1932. The pass reaches an altitude of 706 m above sea level. With a gradient of 1:5, the pass is particularly steep, but most of it is tarred. Only the last approximately 2 km is a good gravel road, intentionally left that way to preserve the village’s rural atmosphere.
