Wlotzkasbaken is a small fishing village half-way between Swakopmund and Hentie’s Bay. The settlement has its own distinctive style of architecture consisting of boarded houses, modelled on the temporary house built by Mr Wlotzka when he rested his horses here in the 1930s. Each building is lovingly created with colour and individuality – self-designed, self-built and self-sustaining with its own water and electrical systems, energy sources and sewerage. All have their own water tanks perched on towers.The place has a unique character completely in harmony with the surrounding desert. Take a detour and drive around this bizarre enclave in the sand.
