Wilhelmstal Padstal between Okahandja & Karibib
Perfectly situated between Windhoek and Swakopmund, Wilhelmstal Padstal is that much-needed stop to break the journey, enjoy a cup of coffee and a slice of Apfelstreusel (homemade apple crumble) or a mince pie – and purchase some biltong and droëwors for the road.
YouTube video: nearby Kwetu Cafe has a small parrot zoo:
Janko Meyer took over the popular padstal in March 2017 and has continued to supply quality meat products like braaiwors, mince, fillets, biltong and dröewors, which are made in-house with meat sourced from local farms in the vicinity. Janko says that he grew up making biltong, one of the many things he learnt on the farm.
A large selection of preserves fills their shelves – from Omaruru, Swakopmund and even Cape Town. And, if you’re lucky, you’ll find a bottle of delicious zucchinisalsa, made by Janko’s mom Ingrid Meyer, ideal as a pasta sauce or condiment for meat, bread and cheese. Other favourites include pickled onions, cucumbers and beetroot, chilli jam, chutney, honey, rusks, Schalensaft (lemon peel syrup) and prickly pear juice. Mid-year, bags of oranges are also for sale from the Meyers’ Albrechtshöhe Guest Farm, 25km away.
After good rainfall, at the beginning of the year you’ll often find people selling Omajowa – the giant termite hill mushrooms - outside the farmstall.
All good reasons to make a pitstop along the road at Wilhelmstal, Namibia.
