Tourist Guide

A building with a sign reading "German Arms" and a statue of a man.
A stone building with a sign for 'Hot Draughthaus' and 'Buffet'.
A tree-lined pathway with a wooden fence, a sign for a massage service, and a building with a sign listing various items like minerals and artifacts.
A vineyard with rows of grapevines and a dirt road.
A street with shops, including a knife shop, and people walking.

Dust off your dirndl and get a little taste of Europe in Hahndorf, Australia’s oldest remaining German settlement.

This wunderkammer in the Adelaide Hills is a charming jumble of half-timbered houses, where artisanal bakeries, smallgoods stores, brewpubs and bars continue the distinctive German flavour. Stroll down the tree-lined main strip to find craft shops, galleries and museums. Cellar doors and wineries serve up local varietals from the surrounding vineyard-latticed landscapes. A great time to visit this antipodean township is in autumn, when the foliage of heritage trees turns vivid red and orange.
