Heysen Trail – Tanunda to Kapunda - 2 day walk

Join Walk Local on this two-day walk starting in Tanunda, following the back roads of the Barossa, passing vineyards, wineries and historic nineteenth-century buildings and natural Australian bushland. The trail crosses a creek lined with gumtrees before arriving in Greenock – a historic village that was once a busy crossroad. In Greenock, we enjoy a cold beer at Greenock Brewers and a classic Aussie pub lunch at The Greenock Hotel. In the afternoon we enjoy a guided wine tasting at Kalleske’s Vineyard and Murray Street Wines before relaxing at your pre-booked B & B accommodation in Greenock. Your evening is free to enjoy many of the wonderful eateries in the Barossa Valley.

Day 2 we continue our walk to Kapunda after your continental breakfast. From Greenock, walkers will notice the vineyards start to peter out and be replaced by rolling farmland. Following a series of minor country roads & tracks, the trail climbs passing through dense forest on the climb.

The trail then traverses more farmland. Just out of Kapunda, the trail joins a track that then becomes a minor road, en-route walkers will visit the Old Kapunda Mine, established in 1844, the first significant copper mine in Australia’s history.
