Hochfeld is a small settlement in the Ojozondjupa Region of Namibia, about 200 kilometers north of the capital Windhoek. The area is in a semi-arid grassland zone and is known for its typical Namibian bush landscape and wildlife resources.
Hochfeld is situated on the central plateau of Namibia at an altitude of about 1,500 meters above sea level and has a tropical arid climate. The average annual rainfall is less than 400 millimeters and there is a significant temperature difference between day and night. The surrounding area is characterized by sparse acacia forests and drought-tolerant shrubs, and is a habitat for wildlife such as jumping gazelles and twisted-horned antelopes.
The local economy is based on animal husbandry, with Karakul sheep and beef cattle widely raised in the surrounding pastures. The community is small, with residents mostly engaged in traditional pastoralism or serving the passing B1 national highway transportation route. Infrastructure is relatively simple, with a basic medical station and elementary school.
Hochfelder is located adjacent to Namibia's main north-south road, the B1, and is an important halfway point between Windhoek and the northern town of Otchwarongo. Its location is strategic for regional logistics and transportation, as well as being one of the waypoints for exploring the Etosha National Park.
