Bethany was home to the first major European settlement in Barossa in 1842. At the time they called it Bethanian – German for Bethlehem. To take in the scenery of this village and its surrounding towns, drive up to Mengler Hill Lookout. For a more active way to see the view, walk part of the Heysen Trail from the windswept Rifle Range Lookout down to Bethany Reserve. Cook lunch under the shelter of the hut and walk along the babbling creek.
