Pamona Ghost Mining Village, situated in the Sperrgebiet, The village is situated above mine and was established in 1912. At that time approximately 500 people lived here and constructed not only the mining buildings for the systematic mining of diamonds, but also villas, bowling alleys, a doctor’s house, a school and a cemetery. During the peak mining times, the guides explained to us during lunch in the old school ruins, 100kg of diamonds were found annually at Pomona. By 1931, after diamond findings receded more and more, the town was abandoned. In the Sperrgebiet, day tours available, permit required. A day tour may be from 1000 NAD and up per person, depending on the season.
