Follow these walking trails through the Adelaide Hills:
Heysen Trail, from the Adelaide Hills, Kuitpo Forest to Mount Crawford
Forest, beautiful botanic gardens, conservation parks and large tracts of farmland can all be found in the Adelaide Hills section of the Heysen Trail. The Cedars, the former home of the trail's namesake Sir Hans Heysen, is one of the most frequented sections of the trail.
As well as being a great six-day walk, with plenty of camping opportunities, the Adelaide Hills section of the Heysen Trail offers some excellent shorter walks, ideal for people of all ages and abilities. And, if camping isn't your style, the Adelaide Hills offer numerous accommodation options close to the trail, including bed and breakfasts, motels and caravan parks.
