Windy Corner

Windy Corner Famous lookout point on the farm Scotston on van Reenen's Pass 3 km from the town of van Reenen on the border of the Free State and Kwa Zulu Natal

Van Reenen's Pass is named after the little town of Van Reenen, which seems to stand guard atop the summit of this majestic pass which winds its way through the Drakensberg mountains between Ladysmith and Harrismith, along the N3 between Durban and Johannesburg. It is a 2-lane, freeway pass which rises from 1111m ASL to 1706m at the summit over a distance of 14.7 km, producing a climb of just unde

r 600 vertcal meters, it nontheless results in a moderate gradient of 1/24. The often wet, misty weather conditions have given this Anglo-Boer era pass the reputation of being perilously slippery, with decreased visibility. The lookout point, Windy Corner, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the Anglo-Boer War Battlefields Route beyond.
