The rock is a beautiful landmark on the climb, which is steep with short and long hairpin bends. In the meantime, enjoy the beautiful moonscape below you.

Hiking

In dry conditions you can walk over the Namafall. There are steep about 90 meters in altitude. It can be reached directly from the area. I would advise against it if it's wet.

Hiking

Steep piece. Even when it's dry it's quite slippery due to the scree.
