Hooiberg

Volcanic hill with sweeping views to Venezuela

Hooiberg (the Haystack) is a 165-metre volcanic hill about 10 kilometres east of Oranjestad, the most prominent landmark in the interior of the island. Several hundred concrete steps lead to the top, where the view is spectacular — on a clear day you can see the Venezuelan coast. It is quite exhausting in the heat, but the panorama makes it worth the climb.
