Vogelfederberg

Vogelfederberg is a mountain summit in the Namib-Naukluft National Park that reaches 530 meters above sea level in the Erongo region. Its slopes display exposed rock formations and natural vegetation patterns shaped by the harsh desert environment.

The mountain formed millions of years ago as a geological feature, recording the evolution of Namibia's landscape through different geological periods. These rock layers reveal the complex history of mountain building and erosion in the region.

Local communities recognize Vogelfederberg as a natural marker within the Namib-Naukluft territory, incorporating it into their geographical understanding of the region.

Visitors need permits from Namib-Naukluft National Park authorities and should carry plenty of water for the ascent. Early morning hours work best for climbing to avoid the intense midday heat.

From the summit, visitors enjoy unobstructed views stretching across the surrounding landscape for many kilometers. The vistas reveal the distinctive shape and geology of the Namib region in one sweeping panorama.
