Erongo Region

Description

One of the most famous landmarks of Namibia is the Spitzkoppe rock massif consisting of granite rocks and belongs to the Erongo mountain region, which was formed more than 100 million years ago by volcanic activity and subsequent erosion. Magma penetrated upwards, but not to the surface. Due to wind erosion, the loose sand mass was subsequently eroded over millions of years until the granite intrusion was exposed.

You can hike extensively in this fascinating landscape and climb around among the bizarre rock formations. Also, this area is often visited by locals who are here in search of semi-precious stones. The Brandberg, located about 150 kilometers northeast of Henties Bay, is a granite massif, also formed by volcanic activity and subsequent erosion. The rough-looking and very dark-looking mountain covers an area of 760 square kilometers and towers over the surrounding land by about 2000 meters. The highest elevation is the Königstein, with 2573 meters and thus the highest mountain in Namibia
