The Spreetshoogte Pass traverses the Great Escarpment, connecting the Namib Desert to the Khomas Highland. The pass is 50.4 kilometres long, connecting Solitaire to Nauchas and offers stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape. Originally constructed during World War II by farmer Nicolaas Spreeth, the pass was built to facilitate access to his farm, Ubib, located at the base of the escarpment. One of Namibia’s most spectacular views is from the top of the Spreetshoogte Pass, where the land drops off by roughly 2000 metres, creating a natural vantage point overlooking the vast, semi-desert plains and the arid mountains beyond
