Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park

The Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is a protected area located in the Australian state of South Australia in the suburb of Flaxman Valley about 80 kilometres (50 mi) north-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south-east of the town of Tanunda.

[7][2] It was proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 on 3 May 1979 for the above-mentioned parcels of land with exception to sections 859, 860, 861 and 862 which were added by proclamation on 3 December 1987.

It is named after a hill called Kaiserstuhl which is located to its immediate west in the suburb of Pewsey Vale.

[8] Kaiserstuhl (literally "emperor's chair") is a mountain of about 600 metres (2,000 ft) height located in a northern part of the Mount Crawford Forest (Kaiserstuhl Native Forest Reserve) in the locality of Pewsey Vale.

It was named by geologist Joseph Menge after the Kaiserstuhl mountain range near Freiburg in southwestern Germany, a famous winegrowing region.
