Museum and Palace On the High Plateau
Tranquil Surroundings and Dining Options
Entoto Maryam (43) and the Museum are located in the old Capital, featuring historic buildings and a Palace, as shown in the image just below. This place is charmingly convenient in every direction, with traditional facilities at this landmark mountain crest and plateau, and as the former Capital, with all its must-see attractions. This historic site, the former Capital, offers unique architecture and an excellent opportunity for leisurely walks among its historical heritage, featuring a palace and a museum. A highland with a peaceful, undulating landscape is evident, offering excellent promenade opportunities for delightful hikes over the high plateau. Here, the passionate Nature trekker can reasonably make close contact with gorgeous sights, such as Bees' Cliff (14) and Viewpoint (16), by first following the gentle, family-friendly landscape along the high altitude towards Entoto Natural Park Nursery (34), located in the highest upper right corner of the map, as shown just a little piece here below.

On the Mountain's Grand High Table
Palace Of Emperor Minilik and Empress Taitu, 1883.
With accessible trails, this high plateau offers an adorable excursion for the family and great views over the landscape beneath, including the fashionable and cultural facilities with activities of Entoto Park (Z). Entoto Maryam (43) on the mountain's high table is the site for the Former Capital, a historical Palace and a cosy town. Adorned with two welcoming towns, Entoto Natural Park appears surprisingly cosy and quaint, with a hint of drama thanks to its magnificent Natural Surroundings. Hence, Entoto Maryam (43) offers an invitingly charming site for the whole family, with quaint access to restaurants, a museum, and a Palace within this town on the grand high plateau. Another lovely choice is Entoto Kidane Mehret (1), featuring an extensive sanctuary, restaurants, and excellent Natural Surroundings for picnics. Therefore, these charming mountainous towns appear culturally welcoming and captivating with their gentle and beautiful surroundings. (Photo to the right by David Stanley)

Entoto Kidane Mehret Church and Community
Except for Entoto Maryam (43), shown here in the image above, there appears to be a beautiful coincidence of interest that is duty-bound to meet the needs of visitors to these historical and cosy sanctuaries. Therefore, the serene beauty that emerges from this coincidence offers a brief glimpse into Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) and its gate, leading to stunning adventures along the Canyon (B) - (14) towards the high plateau. CAUTION: Despite these events, it is clear that the distance and topography between these two historical sanctuaries pose a significant challenge to visiting both on the same day. Yet, there appears to be a possibility to avoid hiking in the slopes' hazardous gorges by choosing a pleasant detour along the high plateau that very fit people can truly find great pleasure in. Hence, the somewhat extended hike begins at Entoto Maryam (43) and proceeds towards Entoto Natural Park Nursery (34), then descends to Bees' Cliff (14), and continues further along the loop (B) to finally reach the Valley [A] at Entoto Kidane Mehret.
Entoto Kidane Mehret's Dramatic Location
The Capital's Regular Transportation
Despite the possibility described above, with a high plateau hike from Entoto Maryam (43) to Entoto Kidane Mehret's valley [A], it is essential to note that the uphill hike towards the opposite (anti-clockwise) direction between these two sanctuaries is far too demanding for most people. However, the Sanctuary of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) offers the most stunning hiking possibilities, where it yet appears as the most cosily aesthetic and cultural foundation that has created this delightful mountain town (1). Although this rock-based sanctuary and society towers within the Capital's northern boundaries and mountain massifs, it seems remarkably preserved and well above all stressful whims. Furthermore, this Church and Monastery (32) appears astonishingly hidden, tucked into the mountain massif rising from the shoulders, where, except for the most enchanting hike views, perception soon becomes very cautious because precipices and gullies take over immediately when you move away from this remarkable protective town (1).

The Sanctuary Of Entoto Kidane Mehret
This place is an appealing beauty to appreciate on the first steps along the Sanctuary and the following bridge below Entoto Kidane Mehret (32). This Sanctuary (32) is astonishingly hidden, tucked into the mountain massif rising shoulder, where perception arises very soon when moving away beyond this protective town. The view opens to a somewhat dramatic beauty, featuring an irresistible river dell.
The Concealed Path of Entoto Kidane Mehret
Here, the children play, and laundry dries on the inviting, soft, clean, polished rock bed. Hidden behind Entoto Kidane Mehret (32), this path makes a concealed curve below the Sanctuary's walls. It passes through a small part of the village before the way (5) opens with a sculptural ravine and continues toward a traditional downhill bridge.
Multiple Attractions Within a Magnificent Landscape

| Landscape Descriptions: Maps & Activities |
Entoto Kidane Mehret's Landscape [A] - (16)
However, well stimulated by the inviting grandeur of Entoto Maryam's (43) high and vast plateau, one often feels a beckoning of a more wild hike, like the Canyon's (B) - (14) grandeur, which usually results in more ideas for unique natural dramas. Such an excellent offering for Nature hides in the dramatic mountainous landscape grandeur above Entoto Kidane Mehret (1), Church (32). Along the dizzying ravines and ancient endemic trees, or on the grandiose high plateau, this hike's adventure captivatingly reaches the outermost threshold of the high table (14) - (16).
A Concealed Canyon Of Great Beauty
High above the Capital appears this magnificent and concealed Canyon (B) - (14) that rises far above Entoto Kidane Mehret's valley [A]. These refreshing paths offer breathtakingly inviting views along the mountain's southern slope. They beautifully lead to gently steep hikes, as shown within the map loop (B), and entice further exploration towards the viewpoint (16) and the heights above the Canyon, where the high plateau's grandeur awaits.

The New and Fashionable Entoto Park (Z)
Entoto Mountain's Highland now features an invitingly magnificent cultural centre and activities that comprise the new Entoto Park (Z), offering a comforting, high-spirited culture. Dramatically elevated buildings include the new Entoto Park (Z) and form an amazing mountain retreat for the entire family, offering comfort and high-spirited culture that invites the whole family to enjoy pleasant leisure activities in the gardens or explore numerous highly inspiring attractions on the dramatic and historical Entoto mountain massif.
Attractions of a Magnitude to a World Centre
Including Entoto Fine Arts Center
Here, on this legendary mountain's stunning views over countless miles of enigmatic highland, the landscape's grand drama constitutes the adventure's core, offering an incredibly close experience, with breathtaking miles of mountain ranges and dagger-deep ravines. Yet, the Capital is immediate here but surprisingly vague and often veiled by the mist and the mountain's elevated massif. Thus, this contrast with the Capital and its high mountain Park is unique in its appearance.

A Classic Castle With the Spring Sources
The commonly occurring check dams represent an opportunity to recreate an environment that is almost ideally suited for both people and Nature. For example, placing a building like Fasilides Bath next to a stream on the high plateau would provide Nature with a fantastic water supply. However, in contrast to the water technology of ordinary check dams, historic buildings, such as Fasilides Bath in the picture to the right, contribute to the surrounding landscape, well-adorned with their attraction capacity as the most beautiful location for facilities with their Highland accommodations.
Grandiose Waterways in the Landscape
The Castle Lodge, with its dramatically classic architecture, offers a tranquil escape for those seeking relaxation. Nestled among the water, it entices fantasies with dreams' visions in the cosiest and most hiking-friendly surroundings within and for Nature in the wilderness. The original dense undergrowth network beneath mother trees and a primordial forest provides a serene environment, perfect for a peaceful getaway.

The goal is to cover the Park with indigenous trees and bring back the native flowers and shrubs, birds and mammals which used to abound in the area.
Over 600,000 indigenous trees have been planted.
To control water flow and prevent erosion, 200 kilometres of terracing and 15 kilometres of check dams have been built.
As a result, 13 springs have developed.
115 species of bird have been recorded, including 5 of Ethiopia’s endemic species.
With the growing maturity of the trees, native shrubs and herbaceous plants can be seen, such as bulleia polystachya, bidens pachyloma, and geranium arabicum.
The number of Indigenous tree seedlings planted in the Park over the last 3 years has been:
2018 8,000
2019 25,000
2020 9,400
(Covid 19 caused considerable problems for the tree planting operation in 2020.)
This momentum has to be maintained to complete the long-term vision of a green haven; at least a further 10 years of effort will be required.
