About this Route

A world-class gravel loop from the art village of Clarens through the Drakensberg foothills above the Free State Highlands. The route links farm roads between the Rooiberge mountains, the Little Caledon River valley and the Lesotho border escarpment. Basotho horsemen, highland cattle farms and dramatic sandstone formations define the landscape. Clarens's galleries, craft beer and mountain lodges make this a premium cycling holiday destination.
