Central Namibia, Omaruru

accommodation, activities...

Herero: oMaruru (the bitter one)
The name of Omaruru goes back to the bitter taste of the grass, that even effected the milk, found in the area.
This peaceful little town is situated along the Omaruru river. During the Herero war the town lived through some turmoil.
The Franketurm, named after Captain Victor Franke, still remembers this tragedy of German colonial history.
The Otavi railway line reached Omaruru in August 1905. It was replaced by a modern railway in 1961.
The Kristall Kellerei, the only wine estate in Namibia, awaits you for a guided tour and wine and "Schnaps" tasting.
Benedictine Monastery Waldfrieden can also be visited -by prior arrangement- just outside town on farm land. This place is known for its boarding school that is famous throughout the region.
