Discover everything about this location.

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.

Here you park the 4x4 and continue on foot.

An hour of walking. Centuries of stories.

You see the rock engravings on a guided walk with an experienced guide. A walk like this takes about an hour.

Along the way you are told about the engravings and San culture. The guide helps you see details you might otherwise walk straight past.

The Organ Pipes are also mentioned in the current route information as an activity around Twyfelfontein.
