HahndorfJust an easy 20-minute drive along the six-lane South Eastern
Freeway from the city centre of Adelaide is the scenic Adelaide
Hills region. The most popular tourist destination in the area is
Australia's oldest surviving German settlement, Hahndorf. The town
was settled in 1839 by Prussian and East German immigrants, and
today is a flourishing community that attracts visitors from all
over the world. They come to admire the many historic buildings,
the 100-year-old elm and plane trees that line the main street, to
shop for crafts, and to enjoy legendary hospitality in the many
restaurants and accommodation establishments. Hahndorf is
surrounded by many wineries and there are two cellars in the main
street offering tastings and meals. The three local hotels have
traditional German beers on tap. Just outside the town is the
famous Beerenberg Strawberry Farm where visitors can pick their own
in season. Hahndorf makes a perfect base for exploring the other
delights of the Adelaide Hill
