About Mengler Hill Lookout
The Mengler Hill lookout is on the road rising from Tanunda toward Eden Valley, a few kilometres from the village, and provides one of the widest views of the Barossa Valley, with vineyards, villages and church spires stretching to the horizon.
Beside the lookout is the Barossa Sculpture Park, an outdoor sculpture park. The works were carved from local stone such as marble and granite by Australian and overseas artists who took part in a sculpture symposium in 1988, and others were added later.
A lawn around the sculptures has benches and picnic space, and the late-afternoon light enhances the stone and the valley. The road there is narrow and winding but sealed.
There is no admission fee. Parking is available at the lookout.
