Losberg

Losberg is a mountain summit in the Omaheke region with steep flanks and angular rock surfaces. The top offers wide views across the surrounding plateau and shows clear layers of the Namibian geological landscape.

The mountain served as a natural boundary marker during German colonial times and was first documented by surveyors in the early 1900s. This early mapping made it an important reference point for geographical exploration of the region.

Local tribes regard the mountain's shadows as natural time indicators, using them to track seasonal changes and plan agricultural activities throughout the year.

The eastern trail provides access to the summit but requires adequate water and sun protection. The intense desert heat makes early morning or late afternoon hikes advisable to avoid overheating.

The peak stands isolated in the landscape with no other significant summit nearby. This isolation makes it a striking landmark visible from great distances across the plateau.
