Parks & Nature

Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is located 12km south east of Tanunda in the Barossa Valley. Nestled amongst the Barossa Ranges, Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is perfect for bushwalkers, rewarding you with panoramic views, fascinating rock formations and a range of native plants and animals. Dusk and early mornings are the best time to observe the park's wildlife. Be on the look out for kangaroos feeding on the open grasslands in the early morning or late afternoon, while the occasional echidna or possum may be seen foraging for food at dusk. There are two walking trails within this park which pass through a variety of landscapes including creeks, rocky outcrops, areas of low forest, scrub and open grassland. The park has panoramic views across the ranges to the Barossa Valley. The Wallowa Hike offers a comprehensive look at the park's main features, including a scenic lookout and rock formations such as Horse Head Rock. Weathering and erosion have produced this rock formation which, as the name suggests, resembles a horse’s head. Capped Rock, a horizontal rock slab perched on a vertical outcrop, is another interesting feature and provides an exciting photographic challenge. The Stringybark Loop provides a brief look at the park's diverse flora and fauna. This park is open seven days a week from sunrise to sunset (except Christmas Day). This park is closed on days of Catastrophic Fire Danger and may be closed on days of Extreme Fire Danger. There are no facilities in this park. However picnic and toilet facilities are available in nearby towns or other parks in the region. Car parking areas are not provided, but parking is permitted along the road outside the park boundary. Pets are not permitted within this park.
