Stieglitz Track

Explore a piece of Tasmania's mining heritage on the Stieglitz Track, a short but historically significant route near St Helens that offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique glimpse into the region's gold rush past. You'll navigate through remnants of the old mining operations that once drew fortune seekers to this remote corner of Tasmania, with the landscape bearing subtle evidence of the industry that shaped it. The 0.2 km track is manageable for most 4WD vehicles, making it an excellent addition to a broader exploration of the St Helens area.

While this is a straightforward drive with minimal gradient challenges, you should come prepared for potential weather changes typical of Tasmania's northeastern coast. The track's short length shouldn't fool you into thinking it's not worth your time—the historical context and photographic opportunities make it a worthwhile stop. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry supplies appropriate for remote Tasmanian terrain, as services can be limited in the St Helens region.

This track works best as part of a larger 4WD adventure rather than a standalone destination. You'll appreciate the historical significance and scenic surroundings, and you can log your experience on Newtracs to track your off-road exploration. The combination of accessible driving and authentic heritage interest makes Stieglitz Track a memorable addition to any Tasmanian 4WD itinerary.
