Kolmanskop was eerie, beautiful, and mysterious bone chilling all at the same time. If all the walls could speak Iโm sure theyโd have so many stories to share. The town used to be vibrant and rich! Miners flocked to Kolmanskop to mine diamonds, lots of diamonds! By 1956 the whole town was abandoned. When visiting you have 2 options, either you go just for pictures and show yourself around or you take a tour with a guide for about an hour and listen to the history of the town then you can go out on your own to take pictures. We decided to do the tour and it was worth it! There were so many cool stories we wouldโve missed out on.
