  • Kolmanskop Ghost town: #1 reason to visit Lüderitz
    In this video I show you the number one reason to visit Lüderitz, the ghost town of Kolmanskop.
    Other attractions: Diaz point, Grosse Bucht, Agate beach, the waterfront, Goerke house and the Felsenkirche church.
    I camped at NWR Shark island, but be warned the place is need of maintenance and the wind can be terrible on the island. Best to check the weather before booking

    That's one of the special places you never get out of your head. I went there in the 80s and its fresh as a daisy in my 63 year old head
    I was really struck by the bowling ally and stage

      For me it was the ice factory the Germans were able to operate in the middle of the desert a 100 years ago

    Hey, great video about Kolmanskop - we didn't had the time to do the tour so we gladly watched your video to get some inside information. :-)

    I ve been to Lüderitz first time in 2006. That Was an amazing Trip. We Visited all the sites u have been as well. The ice Maschine was the first ice Maschine on the african Continent an was build by Linde. The Felsenkirches Window behind the Altar was sponsored by his majesty emperor Wilhelm II. Bucht means bay in german.......the most impressive site was the cross ...even To get there.oh and btw.....achte bay was nice to search 4 gemstones....cheers pat and keep goin

      thanks Patrick. I guess you can see from the video that I was fascinated by the ice factory. To me it is amazing what these people, the germans, were able to accomplish in the middle of the desert so long ago. I guess many people dont realise where they did it or what the Namib desert is all about. Crazy that Linde made it, also saw some Siemens signs. The bridge to the cross was gone in 2006 already?

    Bucht beteken baai in duits, beach is Strand net soos in Afrikaans

    Interesting. Is there any maintenance done or they r just using the building for as long as it's possible??

    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  Před 2 lety

      Only on the main building with the shop & restaurant, the rest is allowed to slowly disappear
