The indigenous Peramangk people christened this region of the Adelaide Hills Bukatilla, a moniker you will encounter throughout the tour. This story is a pleasing revelation.

During the excursion, you will be exposed to the accounts of Prussian individuals who took refuge here following their escape from their King in 1838.

Subjected to tyranny from their King due to their persistent adherence to Old Lutheran religion, their experience is a compelling narrative of endurance, bravery, and belief. Coupling this tour with a Strudel crafting class offers guests a wholesome blend of cultural insight, and a vibrant hands-on gastronomic venture - unique to the Adelaide Hills.

This tour provides access to areas usually blocked from public view, offering multiple photo opportunities.
