Is Cape Point the southernmost point of Africa? The southernmost point in Africa is Cape Agulhas, about 150 km further to the south-east. For the early seafarers, however, the Cape was the turning point for their great voyages towards India. Only when you had passed this "Cape of Storms", as Bartalomeu Dias called it in 1488, could you speak of a successful crossing. The Cape of Good Hope on the Cape Peninsula south of Cape Town is one of the most magical places in the world.

Für die früheren Seefahrer war jedoch das Kap der Wendepunkt für ihre großen Seefahrten Richtung Indien. Erst wenn man dieses “Kap der Stürme”, wie Bartalomeu Dias es 1488 nannte, passiert hatte, konnte man von einer erfolgreichen Passierung sprechen. Das Kap der guten Hoffnung auf der Kaphalbinsel südlich von Kapstadt zählt zu den magischsten Plätzen der Welt.

You might think that the Cape of Good Hope is the southernmost tip of Africa.

You would be wrong.
