Hahndorf
Major tourist attraction in the Adelaide Hills. Well preserved
township with strong German origins.
Located 28 km south-east of Adelaide, Hahndorf is a major tourist
destination. It is a little piece of Silesia, Prussia and Germany
in the Adelaide Hills. It is characterised by beautiful shady,
tree-lined streets, lots of advertisements and shop signs in
Teutonic script, and lots of German tourists being entertained in
cafes, bars and restaurants run by the descendants of the town's
early German settlers. The town is 330 m above sea level, has a
rainfall of 990 mm and promotes itself as 'Australia's Oldest
German Town'.
