Diaz Point is a great drive out from Luderitz. Stark & beautiful. Make sure when you're here to stop in at Skip Skop for a coffee and a slice of fresh cake. Such friendly staff - really hope they make a go of this!

Felsenkirche

Reviewed By CaAfAm - Boca Raton, United States

Found some photos of my mother from 1955 - oh wow! None of us expected that! We were aiming at a trip down memory lane where my mother was confirmed but did not expect photos in the relic collection. The stain glass windows were beautiful; the colors clear and bright esp in the late afternoon sunlight. The pews are well kept and I pray that they will be used more often. When in Lüderitz; the Felsenkirche is worth a visit.
