Fenckers Road

Fenckers Road offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving in Tasmania's scenic southeast. You'll navigate a well-maintained track that winds through rural countryside near Branxholm, providing a straightforward but rewarding driving experience perfect for newcomers to the sport or those seeking a relaxed weekend adventure.

The terrain consists of a relatively smooth gravel surface with minimal obstacles, making this an ideal choice if you're building confidence behind the wheel or testing out a new vehicle setup. You'll traverse gentle grades through open farmland and bushland, soaking in the natural beauty of the Tasmanian landscape without the intensity of more technical trails. The 7.4-kilometre route can typically be completed in around 10 minutes of driving, though most visitors take considerably longer to enjoy the surroundings and photography opportunities.

While the track presents no significant hazards, you should still prepare appropriately: ensure your vehicle is roadworthy with good tread on your tyres, carry water and basic supplies, and check weather conditions before heading out. The track is accessible year-round, though rain can occasionally impact surface conditions. Bring your smartphone with the Newtracs app to navigate confidently and log your completion. This trail makes an excellent warm-up drive or a perfect choice for family outings where everyone wants to enjoy some 4WD adventure without technical demands.
