Did You Know?
It was built on the site of an early Rhenish mission station which was established in 1844. Today the ruins of the mission house can still be seen. The missionaries gave the station the name Gross Barmen; its original name was Otjikango Otjinene - Herero for large fountain. The main attraction of the resort, which is open throughout the year, is its hot mineral spring water.
The accommodation options at Gross Barmen include recently refurbished family and bush chalet and camping sites.
The nearby dam attracts more than 150 different species of birds making it a hotspot for bird watching.
