Bogenfels (Arch Rock) (27°28'S., 15°24'E.) is a large rock, 50m high, projecting from the coast, in the shape of an archway. It is one of the most remarkable features on the coast of Namibia. From W through N, it is not at all distinct, but when bearing about 010° it shows up well against the light colored coast. Driemasterbaai is entered between Driemas tergrat, 6 miles SSE of Bogenfels, and Driemaster Huk, 1.5 miles farther SSE. The shore of the bay is foul and breakers extend 0.2 mile offshore. The recommended anchorage is in 11m in the S part of Driemasterbaai.
