Verbrannter Berg, Mountain summit in Damaraland, Namibia

Verbrannter Berg rises 200 meters above its surroundings, featuring dark volcanic rocks that contrast with the beige Karoo shale formations around it.

The mountain emerged through volcanic processes millions of years ago, becoming a national monument of Namibia on September 15, 1956.

The mountain stands near Twyfelfontein, where ancient rock engravings demonstrate the historical presence of indigenous communities in this region.

Visitors can reach the mountain via the D3254 road, located 10 kilometers from Twyfelfontein, with optimal viewing conditions during sunset hours.

The mountain consists of dolorite layers combined with mudstone formations, displaying distinctive red-brown and violet colors during evening hours.
