The 7 Passes Road in Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa, is a historic route that winds its way through the Outeniqua Mountains, connecting the towns of Knysna and George. The road gets its name from the seven mountain passes that it crosses, each with its unique features and challenges.

The construction of the 7 Passes Road began in the late 1800s and was completed in the early 1900s. The road was built to provide a more direct route between the coastal town of Knysna and the interior town of George, which had become an important center of commerce and agriculture.
