Aus
An almost forgotten hamlet in Namibia’s south has reinvented itself. Positioned on the north-south and east-west crossroads between Maltahöhe–Rosh Pinah and Keetmanshoop–Lüderitz, most people usually pass Aus to refill and drive on. However, apart from refuelling, having refreshments and perhaps staying at one of the accommodation establishments, there are more reasons to stop at Aus, as it offers much of interest to the visitor.

Keetmanshoop
Main centre and focal point of the scenic and historic attractions in the south is Keetmanshoop. Founded in 1860 by the Rhenish Mission Society, the town still retains vestiges of its original German buildings, as well as several dating back to the arrival of the first Europeans, who trekked across the Orange River to trade, hunt and explore the land. The first of these expeditions was in 1791. It was led by Hendrik Hop, who trekked as far as Hainabis on the Löwen River, about 12 km from the Keetmanshoop of today.
