About Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park
Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is a protected nature reserve in the Barossa Ranges east of Tanunda in South Australia's Barossa Valley. Proclaimed in 1979, it conserves 400 hectares of stringybark forest, heath and native grassland on the slopes of Mount Kaiserstuhl. Notable for panoramic views over the Barossa Valley, seasonal wildflower displays and historic dry-stone walls, the park offers short bushwalking trails through relatively undisturbed native vegetation.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a quiet, natural bushland setting on the eastern edge of the Barossa Valley with open stringybark forest, heath and grassland. The park is accessed via unsealed roads and offers two marked walking trails - the 2.2 km Stringybark Loop and the longer Wallowa Track - with elevated viewpoints over the Barossa Valley, opportunities for birdwatching, wildflower viewing in spring, and historic dry-stone walls along the trails. There are no built visitor centres or extensive facilities.
