Hike along hidden rock pools amid barren desert scenery
Solitaire, NamibiaLoop · 12 km · 7:00 h · 675 m elevation gain
Hike through Köcherbaum Gorge and discover a green oasis in the middle of the desert. Demanding, wild and full of contrasts.
What you can experience here
Experience a hike through breathtaking Köcherbaum Gorge, where barren desert landscapes meet an unexpectedly lush green oasis. Hidden among the rugged Naukluft mountains is a world of giant trees, green ferns and an astonishing diversity of wildlife and plants. The contrasts of this region make the gorge an absolute highlight for adventurers.
The circular route takes you across wide plains, through narrow passages and past natural rock pools. With a bit of luck you may encounter mountain zebras, Klipspringer or baboons, while birds circle above you. The hike requires sure-footedness and stamina, but the spectacular landscapes and closeness to nature make every step worthwhile.
Plan the tour for early morning and bring plenty of water, sun protection and provisions. At around 7 hours and 12 kilometres, this hike is demanding but unforgettable. If you want to shorten the ascent, you can reach the plateau with a 4×4 vehicle and plunge straight into the adventure of the descent. It is best to spend the night at the nearby guest farm Büllsport for an optimal start to your adventure. Otherwise, advance registration by phone with the guest farm is essential.
