About This Trail
AFL Gather Round matches will be held at Barossa Park, Lyndoch, on Sat 11 April and Sun 12 April. Expect significant crowds in this area and closure of The Barossa Valley Way. The Barossa Trail is not closed but there will be significant foot traffic in the vicinity of Barossa Park and also Kies Family Wines. All food and wine venues in and around Lyndoch expect to be very busy. Tanunda’s main Street (Murray St) will be closed on Sat 11 April from 3:30 pm to 9:30 pm for the Barossa Food and Wine Village. Alternate routes are available and will be signposted. This scenic shared-use trail is in the heart of the Barossa Valley and links the major towns of Gawler, Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Angaston via shared paths and the railway corridor, taking advantage of panoramic views and the topography. Although some of the trail to Tanunda is windy, it gives cyclists and visitors the opportunity to extend their ride, or walk, through more parts of the Barossa. It is possible to ride all the way from Gawler to Angaston, mainly on dedicated shared paths. Care must be taken on the short on-road section through Tanunda and at all road crossings. Take advantage of the many coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants in all the Barossa towns and holiday parks in Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Gawler. Gawler to Lyndoch (16 km): The section from Gawler East to Sandy Creek was completed in 2022 and features a smooth, hot-mix asphalt surface. The shared path then joins the railway corridor and passes mostly farmland, with vineyards and wineries closer to Lyndoch. Lyndoch to Tununda (15 km): A good-quality, sealed path which follows the highway and then the disused railway to Rowland Flat before heading west along the North Para River with some steep, off-camber turns.
