An Inner Courtyard of Grand Well-being and Cool Well-aroma

Entoto Kidane Mehret's Sanctuary (32) and courtyard appear, thanks to their serene and natural mountainous location, very open and extensive but invitingly cosy and soothing. The reasons for this surprisingly intense feeling of well-being and harmony are certainly the well-tuned architecture which charmingly appears embedded due to the courtyard's mighty arboretum of native and stately Juniper trees. Unreachable by the aeons of a forgotten time; still, these ancient trees' green foliage proudly rises from furrowed pillars to a mighty hall of cosy tranquillity. Thus, an ardour appears to stay extended for a while, well embraced by this refreshing roof of high, fragrant and native Juniper trees. These trees from antiquity delicately delimit Entoto Kidane Mehret's interior courtyard in a private walled setting and deliver this cosy coherence. This sense of original and noble beauty is evident and even more pleasurable since the whole place's surprisingly intense feeling of well-being finds its harmony with the Sanctuary's classical architecture.

In the Capital's northern district, this place constitutes a central station for other taxi and bus services to the Capital's city centre. Likewise, Shero Meda (Shiromeda) is also a hub towards the mountain, offering taxi connections to Entoto Park (Z), Entoto Maryam (43), as well as Entoto Kidane Mehret (1). In the case of Entoto Kidane Mehret (1), Shero Meda is close enough to offer a pleasant walk to Entoto Natural Park. Shero Meda (Shiromeda) also allows the most convenient access to Entoto Maryam (43), located on Entoto's plateau.

This Sanctuary (32) is the aesthetic and cultural foundation that created this delightful mountain town (1), which characterizes the impressive Entoto Kidane Mehret site. 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) are astonishingly hidden, tucked into the mountain massif rising shoulder where perception arises very soon to be careful because precipices and gullies take over immediately when you move away from a bit of piece of this remarkable protective town.

Entoto Kidane Mehret, picnics & beauty
Community (1), Sanctuary (32) and Sacred Water (31).
Although Entoto Kidane Mehret is quite highly located and appears distant due to its height above the Capital, it's equipped with a station for regular bus and taxi traffic. This quaint town's structure creates here a harmonic embrace of the extensive and impressive Entoto Kidane Mehret Church (32), Monastery and Sacred Water Source (31), Juniperus procera Forest (indigenous) 30.

Entoto Kidane Mehret (1). 
The public coaches and taxis frequently come to Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) before they turn downhill. They soon arrive at the Shero Meda (Shiromeda) station and society and further to the central part of the Capital. This choice as a more historical base for further exploration within the wilderness and canyon routes of the Park is natural because both municipal buses and taxis regularly have this place as the final location.


Adventure picnic for the young family

A beautiful choice of picnic at Entoto Kidane Mehret is easily reached by enjoying the gently undulated promenade within a delightful valley [A] and its enchantingly sculptural glen. The gentle walk that delightfully goes to the Italian-built spring water facility (19) is within the young family's requirements of beauty and convenience and, therefore, an excellent choice for most activities and nature interests. Entoto Kidane Mehret's inhabitants bring their household water from this source. Thus, the company is apparent by playing with children and people fetching quantities of water to their homes.

Picnics Store Preparations

Despite this somewhat harsh highland air, the picnics prevail as captivating and comfortable but, of course, with importance, require picnic sweets and provisions. If someone still needs to buy for the picnic, this could be purchased at the store (2) next to the Entoto Kidane Mehret Sanctuary (32) at community (1).

Accommodation and Food Services
Shero Meda (Shiromeda) Centre.
The two travel routes starting from Shero Meda centre and continuing up the hill towards Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) and Entoto Maryam (43), offer some small and inviting neighbourhoods. Thus this somewhat hilly outskirts of the Capital attract visitors with several cosy restaurants while either enjoying the moderately steep and leisurely uphill walk or any regular taxi or bus to Entoto Kidane Mehret (1).

A Cosy Sanctuary with Picnic for the Whole Family

The most beautiful and versatile nature and fascinating places within a distance of charming simplicity are often the primaries for family picnics. Still, they can often be challenging to accomplish within the convenience of the whole family's interest. Due to weather conditions, duties and family members' interest in comfort and alluring entertainment, the intended excursions require some unique and beautiful characteristics of the picnic's requirements. Hence, Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) and (32) are very pleasant and convenient, yet with a special touch of grandeur and foreboding, thrillingly beautiful adventure.

19. A suitable choice during the rainy season.
While this site (19) offers this required, convenient and exciting beauty, and the tempests usually follow a bound rhythm, its experience in beautiful, cosy daily hours can be both appealing and irresistible. This provided a conscious behaviour to return the short distance to Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) in time before the next thunderstorm.



19. Italian Water Reservoir
The Italians established an extensive reservoir to provide the Capital with water during the occupation. For the Capital nowadays, this mountain reservoir (underground water technology) has lost some importance in favour of more significant catchment dams.

Mysterious High-Tech Mountain Water.
Entoto Kidane Mehret's inhabitants bring their household water from this source (19). Therefore, the company is apparent by playing with children and people fetching quantities of water to their homes.




Entoto Kidane Mehret Sanctuary and Town 

Preserved Elevated Protectorate

Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) society is probably best described as a mysteriously beautiful and appealing mountain town adorned with a discreetly extensive but invitingly cosy and soothing Sanctuary (32). Still, the Sanctuary of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) should be described more precisely as a profoundly dedicated religious Sanctuary and Protectorate of Nature and Inhabitants. Entoto Kidane Mehret's Sanctuary (32) has been a religious protectorate of Entoto's nature for a long time, thus gaining unique and profound protection that has been deeply associated with religious devotion and conviction. However, although cosy restaurants, the Hotel and Guesthouses still need to be included, which means that the nearest accommodation for tourism is the Shero Meda (Shiromeda) community.

The reasons for this surprisingly profound feeling of well-being and harmony are certainly the well-tuned architecture. Suppose it were not for Entoto Kidane Mehret Sanctuary's noble magnificence. In that case, the impression could resemble the large courtyard of a luxury hotel just at the doorstep of a stunningly beautiful nature park. Naturally, the great comfort is that this whole place is embraced by a natural and refreshing roof of high, fragrant and native Juniper trees, which delicately delimit the interior courtyard in a private walled setting. Hence, the very cosy atmosphere of the Sanctuary's courtyard is comforting but near allures the unknown with an intriguing premonition of exploration and adventure. Here, the still unknown attracts from the refreshing breeze of well-fragrance; it rises with wistful fervour beyond the Sanctuary's stone wall and invokes a deep and mysterious impression of the forgotten aeons' world. Irresistible, the caressing breeze entices the souls with enigmatic flavour from a still veiled word of the past and infuses an overwhelmingly beautiful nature that beckons exploration in a serene excursion within the grand landscape.

A Mountain-Based Station for Buses and Taxis

Although Entoto Kidane Mehret is quite highly located and appears distant due to its height above the Capital, it's equipped with a restaurant and a station for regular bus and taxi traffic. This quaint town's structure creates here a harmonic embrace of the extensive and impressive Entoto Kidane Mehret Church (32), Monastery and Sacred Water Source (31)Juniperus procera Forest (indigenous) 30. The choice of Entoto Kidane Mehret as one of the more central bases for further exploration of the Park is natural because both the Capital's buses and local taxis regularly have this place as the final location. Here they are, waiting in the shade of large native trees before turning downhill again and soon arriving at the Shero Meda (Shiromeda) station, society, and the more central part of the Capital.

𝑨 𝑴𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

Completely surrounded by its society, this station is characterized by an inviting cosiness, with an accompanied impression of magnificence that cannot be expected in a massive rock ledge of a mountain. This town's station would be disproportionately large if not for the Sanctuary that discreetly dominates its outer propagation, and it is located beautifully on this dramatically elevated hidden mountain plateau.

Besides, this Sanctuary with its Church and Monastery are astonishingly hidden, tucked into the mountain massif rising shoulder where perception arises very soon to be careful. The visual scenery of the valley [A] is charmingly inviting with the dramatic landscape where precipices and gullies take over immediately when you just move away from a bit piece of this tremendous protective plateau and its quaint surrounding mountain ledge town.

Along the anticipated and continued reasonably steep climb of the road is the experience of native forest (30) within arm's length of charming but surprising expertise. Here it is very close, on the right side of the road, these ancient trees mysteriously allure in a revelation and guise of a completely fenced but mighty Juniper forest (30). This wild, dense and impressive forest (30) spreads out vigorously from the steep ascent beginning (31) and up to the road's clearance, completely beside Entoto Kidane Mehret (32).


𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏'𝒔 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒓

In the first part of this protected and environmentally protective forest, you find yourself a good piece below society but are nonetheless part of its togetherness. The forest here (30) is impressive and serves the essential purpose of maintaining clean and uncontaminated spring water.


𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈

Just to the right and slightly below, at the beginning of this step, a well-fenced juniper forest is a highly sought-after and famous building where the water from this mysterious, ancient place will arrive in cascades and qualitative amounts.

Immediately behind the muscular columnar, Juniperus procera trunks and many layers of wire prohibition protection arrives this spring water (31) with beautiful sounds. The refreshing and pleasant presence of original nature imparts a crystal clear stream below the gnarled roots of these venerable and furrowed guards in the shape of ancient dignified Junipers.


𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒐 𝑲𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒕

This community is equipped with shops for the most important, beautiful cultural buildings with associated spring water and an indigenous forest of giant Junipers (30). These constitute significant assets for adventures, picnics, and hiking in the varied mountainous terrain of Entoto Natural Park.


𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒐 𝑲𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒕

Entoto Kidane Mehret is a very dedicated and appealing mountain town but should more precisely be described as a profoundly religious Sanctuary and Protectorate of Nature and its Inhabitants.
