Cursory stop at the rail bridge crossing the Tierpoort river, downstream from the dam.
Then onward to the pass, the name used to be just after the steep incline warning. @Hollywood

The road to the farmhouse looked rather muddy... so next time when I am not alone.
Then I returned via The Tierpoort Road, as marked on Googlemaps. My first time and quite a delight to ride... some sections real dirt highway.
