More than two thousand stories among the rocks.
Twyfelfontein is a water source in a valley between the mountains of Damaraland. Farmers once used the spring, but could not rely on there always being water. That is where Twyfelfontein gets its name.
Today it is above all the landscape that draws attention. Red boulders lie among grey grasses and more than 2,000 rock engravings can be found across the valley. Twyfelfontein has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2007.
