Quick Details
Meeting Location: Hahndorf Academy
See the Original Layout of the Village
This tour commences outside the Hahndorf Academy. It’s the two storey sandstone building across the road from Hahndorf Candle maker which is very near the Hahndorf Post Office.
Walkers leave from this historic building to go into the Hufendorf (the original layout of the village) and down the back streets to see Germanic cottages, to which HWT has exclusive access. We then head back onto the main street to continue the tour.
Visit the Lutheran church with the longest running congregation in Australia and the pioneer cemetery. See examples of fachwerk (Germanic) cottages, and how they were built.
You will hear stories about the early settlers of Hahndorf and their flight from Prussia.
Stories about the village you certainly won’t hear by just walking the street – we’ll dig deeper.
This tour leaves you wanting more, and that’s ok, we’d love you to book another one of our walking tours.
