Information
Located in the Tasmanian Wilde?rness World Heritage Area, the Walls of Jerusalem is a wild and inspiring alpine park with a labyrinth of highland lakes, craggy mountains and elegant stands of pure pencil pine forests. Its stunning landscape of precipitous dolerite peaks, moraines and tarns are the result of glaciation.
The constantly changing landscape is as unpredictable as it is beautiful and walkers should come prepared, as the weather can shift from one hour to the next. The unique alpine vegetation and clean, crisp air of this remote highland region is sure to invigorate and inspire those with a sense of adventure.
No road access to its boundary, this alpine wonderland is for exploring on foot. The most visited part of the park is inside ‘the Central Walls’, flanked by towering fluted dolerite peaks. To get there from the carpark, follow the initial steep walking track via Trappers Hut to Wild Dog Creek campsite. From hereon, it is a gently undulating landscape, with dolerite peaks guarding an impossibly beautiful alpine garden.
