Mariaberg Crossing

The Mariaberg Crossing is a mountain pass and trail in the Central Ranges, which passes between the Mariaberg and the Drakenberg.

The Mariaberg Crossing begins at the locality Mariaberg in Mariaberg Parish, heads east along the southern slopes of the Central Ranges and then passes north between the Mariaberg and Drakenberg. The trail then passes Nieuwbergen and ends in Drenthe Parish at the Martiges River west of Annandale. Historically, the Crossing was rarely used due to the roughness of the terrain compared to the Cornel Pass, but construction works in the twentieth century such as surface improvements and the addition of stairways saw the Crossing become a popular hiking trail.
