About this Route

An epic gravel adventure through the Vredefort Dome — the world's largest verified meteorite impact crater and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — starting from Parys on the Vaal River. Farm roads and dirt tracks wind through the distinctive curved rock formations of the dome structure, crossing the Vaal River at multiple points. A bucket-list Gauteng gravel ride with extraordinary geological scenery.
