The highest point of the range is Mount Kaiser Stuhl with an elevation of 588 metres (1,929 ft)[1] AHD and forms part of the Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park.

Mengler Hill, another notable peak within the range, lies on the road route from Tanunda to Angaston.

[2] The Spanish location was the site of the Battle of Barrosa and was won by Light's friend Lord Lynedoch (Lt. Gen. Sir Thomas Graham) in 1811.

[2] The word barrosa (mis-spelt in the naming of the valley, two 'r' and one 's' becoming one 'r' and two 's'; similarly the nearby town of 'Lyndoch' rather than 'Lynedoch'), in Spanish and Portuguese languages simply means "muddy".

Confusion regarding the spelling and origin of the range also resulted in mistaken moves to change it as part of 'de-Germaning' during the First World War ('Kaiser Stuhl', for example, temporarily being renamed 'Mount Kitchener').
