The different ways to these natural pools just above Bees' Cliff (14) follow those previously described from points (37) - [A]. Furthermore, there are several very different path choices just uphill from point (38), which also becomes enriched by a more thorough, independent acquaintance with the full south-eastern to north-western eroded soil road (41) located just above points (14 - 16). This plateau just above Bees' Cliff (14) is a magnificently beautiful place with a great panorama view over the gorge and many characters in the landscape.

When the scene at the threshold of this high plateau turns south, the abyss Bees' Cliff (14), the ravine is very close. This concealed Abyss, its waterfall and the river's further gorge meandering (35) are here hair-raising near the pools of Bees' Cliff (14). These are the nature baths just above Bees Cliff (14), and the threshold down to this Abyss invite a great nature drama. The rock pools are far above the hillside but still near in the distance, with waterfall and Ravens' flight in playful hay above their home of vertically rising cliff-sides.

However, the high plateau and Bees' Cliff (14) is high above any instant protection by the community's facilities of taxis, bus station and shops from the quaint ledge town (1) and Entoto Kidane Mehret Church (32). Due to this harsh reality, some reservations are required for the season time when this high plateau is appropriate for visits and when the site needs extra caution.
A Time of Fragrance, Harmony and Beauty
At the end of the rain season in September - October, the high plateau becomes a lush mountain Nature of deep attraction where streams and waterfall stabilize in exquisite flowing beauty. A gentle, romantic flow of ideal conditions becomes evident in October- November.

This valley provides unique, beautiful scenery with a brook passing by. This brook (35) is by its deep sculptural appearance characterizing the views of the dramatic landscape and cliff formations of the uphill trails. It is an excellent assistant for orientation for the most hiking paths up to the high plateau.
The comfy promenade to reach the Italian-built spring water facility (19) is within these young family requirements and, therefore, an excellent choice for most activities and nature interests. Entoto Kidane Mehret's inhabitants are bringing their household water from this source. Thus, the company is apparent by playing with children and people fetching quantities of water to their homes. The valley of Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) constitutes the bridge crossing just some steps downhill of the Sanctuary (32) and further invites a gentle walk to the place for family picnic and games at the Italian reservoir (19), located just to the right by a gentle undulated and charmingly curved path.

Meandering stream and Natural rock pools above Bees' Cliff
The meandering stream of the high plateau just above Bees Cliff (14) provides an extraordinary bath with natural threshold barriers that form the conditions for elongated and naturally dammed pools. However, some **[Caution] requires the most fun bathing events. This caution is crucial because the depth of these pools rarely exceeds one metre and, therefore, could very likely cause serious injury if accidental jumping during diving activities.
Required Bottom Examination.
This requirement of caution also applies to swimming underwater, and this is because the otherwise welcoming horizontal bottom section would have contaminations by a few but surprising and hidden larger underwater stones. However, these are generally very easy to find and remove but must be considered as the dominant rainy season will regularly supply the bottoms of the pools with renewed rock bumps.

**Caution During Rainy Seasons
Since all streams around Entoto run-up within a short distance to the highest part of the plateau, there is no risk of being surprised by far and accumulated sudden river flow from an unknown range. There is no known weakness in the deep rock pools that could constitute a magazine water mass just waiting to break through a weak point in the cliff bottom. However, no person should walk on the riverbanks of the ravines in the aftermath of heavy rain as this poses an immediate danger to life. A mistake on slippery ground can be fatal despite the apparent alert about the fast water flow. This torrential force along the river banks can quickly take a person or their pet beyond rescue in a relentless power of a rushing water flow.
Picnics Provision and Bath Seasons
Water: Drinking water must be available all year round, and due care is crucial since most brooks dry out sometime during the year. There are, however, a few springs within the Park area, providing water for all seasons. The most necessary for the Park's experience and picnics, as well as the candy shop (2), is right next to the Sanctuary (32) and across the bus stop at the community Entoto Kidane Mehret (1). Rain Season: There are two rainy seasons per year, the minor rains from March to May and the big rains from July to September. The highest rainfall intensity occurs in July and August (Demissew, 1988).The Natural Pools of Bees' Cliff

The Italian Fortification and Bath

The Historical Remain of the Italian Fortification.
This Italian fortification (38) is very close to the actual path upwards and just above the lying farmhouse (39); see both of these points within the map circle (B). Here, slight downhill, the pipeline connects to the reservoir and underground installation by Mussolini's troops from the farmhouse area. It is an exciting and short deviation from the path to visit this beautiful place.**Caution: A Thorough Bath Examination is Required in the Italian fortification.
Regarding the safety of this old Italian fortification (38) within map circle (B), all kinds of bath demand must first be preceded by a thorough bottom and wall examination. The purpose is to ensure the reservoir's bottom conditions where larger stones and iron objects could pose a severe injury hazard.

This mountainous fortress facility (38) - (B) was built in the late thirties in an attempt by the invading Italian forces to gain control with a strategically significant overview of the Capital and the landscape. Through the mentioned upland topography, the site is magnificent and gives an incentive to consider the facility being reconstructed for adventure tourism. However, careful and prudent distance is required while walking at this potentially dangerous and dizzying precipice. This dramatic cliff passage is the deviating and captivating cliff path to this concealed and lofty site with its characters of high drama in a cosy entertaining atmosphere.The Drama of Waterfall and Mountain Pools.
This mountain site (38) - (B) is dramatically located on the mountainside, with complete contact with splendid panoramic views. The varied nature drama and exciting surroundings, including the spillway waterfall, adorn this Italian fortress' patinated architecture. Thus, walking at a prudent distance overview to the dizzying precipice, any spectator is seduced by thrilling expectation and pleasure. All this is thanks to the cosy atmosphere of this mysteriously forgotten cliff ledge with its mountainous fortress and reservoir.  |

Photographs: Nature & Waterfall
These photos of water-filled streams and cascading waterfalls are shot just above Bees' Cliff (14) at Entoto's southern highland plateau - from early October to November. Regarding all of these active water sports photographs, it has passed about one to two months since the long rainy season ended.
Seasons for Swimming or Hiking
Despite the period passed from these photo opportunities and the last rains being over a month, it is still a great asset of bath and fresh spring water flow on the higher ground of Entoto. But maybe for those some hilarious adventures, it would have been even more suitable if they had occurred a month earlier and thus offered even more fun spontaneous bath activities.

| Spring Water with Bath |
Natural Freshly Purging Spring Water.
This flowing freshwater meant it's usually not rainwater flowing in its origin but instead chilled and underground fresh spring water. This freshwater phenomenon is simply Highland and mountain affected by gravity, which naturally downloads the torrential deluges from the rainy seasons into the natural aquifers.
