Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park


Laced with excellent walks, 390-hectare Kaiserstuhl is en route from Mengler Hill to Angaston. The Stringybark Hike (2km loop) and Wallowa Hike (4.7km one-way) start at the entrance, with fantastic views from atop the Barossa Ranges. Look for elusive Nankeen kestrels and (less elusive) western grey roos.
