Bogenfels is a huge arch rock on the Namibian coast 120 km south of Lüderitz in Diamantensperrgebiet. You can get there only by a guided day trip. While going there you cross Pomona, an old Diamant miner´s town and Märchental, a colourful valley in the middle of desert Namib. When you are lucky you can see some little diamonds sparkling in the sand.
