On our way southwards on the N 3 , from Bethlehem to the Indic, we everytime experience, we are now in KwaZulu Natal and the Free State is just behind us. A scenic pass, a joyful ride, if the traffic it allows. In every case stunning views left- and rightsides the window. Look at the Drakensberge in the west, south-west. Ahead another toll gate, Tugela Toll Plaza. If you are not in a hurry or wants to avoid the toll there is an alternate route. In Harrismith turn on the N5 towards Bethlehem and then turn left on the R 74 towards Bergville/Winterton. An awesome route along the Sterkfontein Dam over the Oliviershoek Pass along the Drakensberg mountains rightsides. Finally use the ramp north of Estcourt to follow further the N3.
