Hartz Mountains National Park

The Hartz Mountains National Park extends across 71.4 square kilometers of alpine terrain, featuring glacial lakes, waterfalls, and dolerite peaks in southern Tasmania.

The Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service established this protected area on May 24, 1939, leading to its inclusion in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area by 1989.

The Mellukerdee aboriginal people inhabited this land before European settlers arrived in the 19th century to extract Huon pine timber from the region.

Visitors need to obtain a Tasmanian Parks Pass before entering the park, which they can purchase online or at the Geeveston Town Hall Visitor Centre.

The park contains the rare moss froglet, discovered in 1992, along with Bennett's wallabies, Tasmanian pademelons, echidnas, and platypus in their natural habitat.
