Turn onto the C14 and continue until you reach Solitaire. From Solitaire, take the D1275 road, which leads directly to Spreetshoogte Pass. The drive will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on road conditions and stops. Be sure to check the vehicle for fuel and supplies, as services can be limited in remote areas.
