Picnics & Baths

A Mountainous Picnic Site with Dramatic Views.

After following upwards from point (37) - [A] to the highest bend of this guiding coarser water pipe appears the site of magnificent views over the Valley [A]. This path is a short section, deviating some tens of metres from the path upwards to reach the ruin of the Italian fort (38) - (B) and its water facility. This place opens into an attractive clearing on a high cliff ledge, thereby characterizing the place's high-lying drama. However, the underground water fort is also fascinating and thus appeals to picnics with fantastic views and an entertaining exploration.

** Caution: It is clear that the site of (38) - (B) has a steep precipice towards the Valley [A] and thereby requires a cautious alert. Still, this offers extra pleasure in grande views, thus giving the picnics or the hike extraordinary value. Furthermore, this place (38) - (B) constitutes the initial gate to the Canyon's water flow, requiring Caution during the rainy season's dangerous torrential deluges.

Seasons for Hilarious Baths or Hiking

CAUTION: The Canyon's Watergate

Although this ruin (38) - (B) and high river-dell also invite the river's gate towards the Twilight Canyon, some alerts should remain. Since this mountain's natural gate to the Canyon is the fundamental cataract receiving cliff-ledge of the Canyon's accumulated water flow, a cautious approach is appropriate to treat this watergate. Furthermore, the continuing close contact with the deeper region of the gorge's profoundly rising uphill and chiselled waterway within the Canyon often appears scary and dangerous. The more secure choice for visitors to the Canyon's deep cleft and family's adventure entrance is higher on the Canyon's mountainside (36) within the map loop (14). Here are a few delightful, inviting glades within the Canyon where the visitors encounter splendid views, especially this tributary (36), whose numerous deep spatial overviews enrich the cosy natural atmosphere.

Exciting Exploration with Picnic and Waterfall

This relatively highly located, picnic-inspiring grass glade at (38) - (B), with its hidden rock fortress, gives a very expectant feeling by being closely connected to the waterfall of the precipice. However, the waterfall is usually very inviting in its flow because its power is dampened with a harmonious weir with a spillway overflow. Although built in today's traditional decaying concrete, this alluring mountain ruin and Fortress (38) - (B) can give gifted researchers an excellent stimulation discovery of the importance of water technology. This construction works impressively as an entertaining and enjoyable bridge to the opposite side of the valley of this exciting and thoroughly inviting, water-flowing cliff dwelling.

The Assistance Of Paths' Directions

An Inviting Guide to the Mountain

The superficial water-conducting metal pipe (37) - [A] assists the mountain hike where its apparent suitability begins on the slope above the valley [A]. This place is easily reached from below the valley [A] with comfortable passing between a couple of cottages before it continues and reaches a gentle high level on the mountain's shoulder. Just before the Italian fortification (38) - (B) appears a theatrical view and potentially dangerous abyss a few metres to the left of the path. This precipitous view is within the lower map loop (B) regions and includes route deviation in three choices. The pipeline makes its high northern bend just to the right of (38) - (B). Just at this upper and most north turn of the pipeline, the path deviates from the pipeline in a threshold of the uphill steeper path that gives the direction to most hiking routes.

Adventure History
"Entoto's climate during the rainy season was far from pleasant, for it suffered from many storms. A French traveller, Jules Borelli, states that it was a place of much lightning, thunder and fog, while his compatriot, Charles Michel, remarked that ''exposed to the wind, difficult to access, and without drinking water'' (Ibid, p.103).

Photographs
These photos of water-filled streams and cascading waterfalls were shot just above Bees' Cliff (14) at Entoto's southern highland plateau from early October to November. Therefore, it has been about one to two months since the long rainy season ended for all these active water sports photographs.

Harmonic Currents Along the River

**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 the relentless power of a rushing water flow.

Close Encounter With Playing Baboon Families

While this place is unique in many ways, there are also reservations about the impact people can exert on its nature. Because this site contains what is desirable for people and wildlife, the result is that a conflict of interest and living space can occur. The paths up to Bees' Cliff (14) offer several options: the northern hillside of the tributary gorge (36), the southern slope of (38-39) - (15-16) and (41) - (42) within the map loop (14).

Caution: Hyena, Trauma and Accident Risks

It would, therefore, be possible for a person who slips and lies demobilized, hidden and injured in the shady creek bed may, at last, after a few days, attract Hyenas to become directly fatal. They can become mighty animals, especially females in close contact with muscular strength, resembling brown bears in a slightly reduced size. However, hyenas lack rabies virus symptomatic disease; thereby, such danger is unknown.

Absolute Caution with Injuries and Liquor

Since the relationship between humans and Hyenas is ancient, mutual peace has evolved, and even children are naturally left untouched by Hyenas. The Hyenas can show curiosity toward humans but are usually cautious and restrained. On the other hand, Hyenas have been seen as highly interested in sick or heavily intoxicated people, just regarding this as something different from humans and therefore not included in the ancient consensus of mutual respect.

[CAUTION] - Hyenas, A Nocturnal Danger for the Capital's Vulnerable.

Water: Water must be available all year round, and 2 litres of water in rugged bottles are recommended for these Canyon adventures. Most of the brooks dry out sometime during the year. However, a few springs within the park area provide water for all seasons. 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).

Saving the Environment and Knowledge
with the Lost Knowledge from Antiquity

Although this Italian ruin was built in today's decaying concrete, the renovation of this mountain fortress (38) - (B) can stimulate an excellent foundation for a historical discovery of the lost recipe for Roman concrete. This potential rediscovery of ancient concrete with this lost high technology and historical treasure from antiquity would offer a scientific study of Roman technology within an educational project. Although this historical concrete's millennia-old secrets still prevail as a crucial investigation of international laboratories, its deepest secrets persist. Therefore, this research attracts many scientists to unlock forgotten knowledge about this ancient high technology's excellent properties to maintain immense strength over aeons in harsh conditions and flowing water. Thus, significant positive environmental factors could be obtained because Roman concrete maintained and increased its core strength through the millennia, unlike modern concrete.

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. However, since the site offers great drama on the elevated ledge in the landscape, there are also some precautions about absolute contact with the directly hazardous precipice down to the valley [A]. The site's magnificent upland topography and the site's (38) - (B) large pool and spill-water weir at the waterfall's precipice encourage stimulus and consideration of reconstructing the facility for adventure tourism.
