Located midway up kunanyi / Mount Wellington on the Pinnacle Road, The Springs is the staging post for walkers and mountain bike riders alike.
The proposed zipline from the Springs is the best location for spectacular scenery. Plus easy accessibility from the city for locals and visitors.
It has been identified by Wellington Park Trust as a popular tourism development hub.
The Hobart City Council has proposed the construction of 27 mountain bike trails of which four have been completed.
The mountain bike trails are popular with the young rider but don’t cater for the majority of tourists to the Mountain.
