Visit Baliesgat, similar to "the Hell". Situated 15 km fom Dankbaarheid., Drive (or walk) down a steep mountain pass suitable for passenger vehicles with high ground clearance. This subsistence farming community was isolated until 60 years ago. The authorities maintained it was impossible to build a road down to Baliesgat. A local farmer proved them wrong.
