Erosberge

The Erosberge is a mountain range located east of Windhoek and Okahandja. The peaks generally reach heights of approximately 2,000 meters, with the highest point, Ludwigskuppe, rising to 2,133 meters. Travelers visit this area primarily for hiking and to view the surrounding landscape from the summits.

Getting There

The range is situated on the outskirts of Windhoek. From the city centre, it is accessible by car. Depending on the specific trailhead or peak you are visiting, the drive typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes.

Duration of Visit

The amount of time required depends on the chosen activity. A short walk to a viewpoint may take a few hours, while a full hike to Ludwigskuppe requires a significant portion of the day. Visitors should allow at least 4 to 6 hours for a comprehensive hiking experience.
