Continue past the end of the town along Rte 45 until you reach the spectacular Franschhoek Pass. Together with the Helshoogte Pass on Rte 310, Viljoen’s Pass and Sir Lowry’s Pass (the most stunning of the lot) on the N2 highway, this forms part of the roughly circular Four Passes Route that makes for a splendid day’s driving to and from Cape Town or Stellenbosch.
