Van Zyl's Pass, Namibia

(Reader Contribution to 10 of the World's Most Dangerous Roads)


Van Zyl's Pass, or the DR3703, Namibia, is a classic extreme road. not really a road, just a route made over the mountian by travellers over time, really. The outrageously steep pass itself is a pure adrenaline rush, but the lead-up route is 10-15km of tough driving, dodging its way through boulders, rocks, ravines and badlands. The road finally descends to the Marienfluss (ancient glacial)valley - truly one of the planets most beautiful sights, to reward the brave-hearted.
