The C12, is an untarred secondary road in the ǁKaras Region of southern Namibia. It starts 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of Seeheim, branching off the B4 road, passes the Naute Dam, and ends 135 kilometres (84 mi) later in Grünau. In Grünau, the B1 and B3 roads can be accessed. Close to its junction with the C37 the C12 crosses the Holoog River. A planned bridge was never built.
Until 2014 the C12 started directly at the Seeheim junction off the B4 and went due south. Due to frequent flooding of this road section, the first 20 kilometres (12 mi) of this road were deproclaimed, and the entrance was fenced off. Traffic was redirected via Naute Dam. As the original road section still provides access to local farms, it can still be used, bypassing the blocking fence. Tourists are commonly warned against using this section.
Grünau is a settlement in the ǁKaras Region of southern Namibia, west of Karasburg. It is linked to the South African border posts near Noordoewer via the B1 and near Nakop via the B3. Grünau belongs to the Karasburg electoral constituenc
