"There are more than 490 mountain passes in the Western, Northern, and Eastern Cape, many of them more than a century old and the product of considerable engineering feats. They provide ways through and over the natural barriers in the area ... They also pass through spectacular natural scenery and in themselves are objects of great beauty and ingenuity". This selection covers about fifty of the most significant and well known passes. Includes a list of the 490 passes mentioned.
