Steamranger Railway, Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf Day Tour

Visit the Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf before experiencing a piece of moving history to travel to Strathalbyn

Join us on a journey into the Adelaide Hills and take in the views of Adelaide and the coast, possibly spot a koala amongst a forest of native gums, retrace the journey of previous travellers through the valleys along the old roads, experience some of the quaint villages hidden away from the modern traveller, and visit a historic slice of Germany within the Adelaide Hills. The beer, food and pubs of Hahndorf alone will make you think you are sitting somewhere in Germany!

​

After lunch, build a head of steam and jump aboard the Steamranger Heritage Railway for your trip back in time and travel to the other side of the Adelaide Hills to the township of Strathalbyn where you will discover antiques, collectables, museums, art galleries and a historic building around every corner.
