ZWEIKUPPEN

Wolf Bay, providing no protection, lies 4 miles SSE of Grosse Bay. North Long Island, low lying and almost divided into two parts, lies 0.5 mile offshore, close S of the entrance to Wolf Bay. South Long Island, 0.5 mile farther S, lies 0.1 mile off a small point on the coast. Zwei Point (Zwei Spitz) (26°52'S., 15°09'E.), 2 miles SE of South Long Island, is a prominent table topped hill. A sub merged reef lies 0.4 mile offshore, 1.3 miles S of Zwei Point. The cliffs in this vicinity are composed of cream colored rock, in contrast to the prevailing gray granite. Elizabeth Point (26°55'S., 15°11'E.), low and rocky, lies 4.5 miles SSE of Zwei Point. A dangerous reef and heavy breakers extend some distance S of the point, and the ruins of an old mining town, situated N of the point, are conspicuous when viewed from the W. Zweikuppen (Saddle Mount) (26°56'S., 15°20'E.) rises to an elevation of 358m about 8 miles E of Elizabeth Point. Dreizack Berg, 463m high, lies 6 miles SE of Zweikuppen. Two peaks, known as The Paps, behind these hills, are conspicuous in clear weather, and when in range bear 053°.
