Adelaide Hills, Mountain range near Adelaide, Australia.
The Adelaide Hills extend through the Mount Lofty Ranges, reaching elevations above 300 meters and featuring distinct seasonal temperature variations throughout the year.
European settlement began in the early 1800s when timber merchants, known as tiersmen, harvested wood from the hills for Adelaide's construction needs.
The region maintains German heritage through towns like Hahndorf and Lobethal, established by European settlers who shaped local traditions and architecture.
The hills contain numerous walking paths and cycling routes, connecting towns such as Mount Barker, Stirling, and Crafers within an hour's drive from Adelaide.
The National Motor Museum in Birdwood hosts the Bay to Birdwood event, where 5,000 vehicles parade through the hills to their final destination.
