A Natural Sanctuary with Accommodation and Beauty

The Adorable and Gentle Nature of the Valley [A]

Within the valley [A] of Entoto Kidane  Mehret's Sanctuary (32), the rising highland mountain with its remote high plateau of authentic old serenity entices intriguingly. The southern hillside of Entoto's rising shoulder is here apparent, and from this site at the bridge crossing [A], the gully and its valley allure just beneath Entoto Kidane Mehret (32), with the majestic mountainside dominating above and very close. The mountain's grande attraction towers in immediate contact on the opposite side of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) and its captivating river-dell - [A]. The valley, just beneath Entoto Kidane Mehret Church (32), appears well-adorned by beautiful scenery with a brook passing by. This brook dominates the views of the dramatic landscape and cliff formations of the higher trails and is above map loop (B), an excellent assistant for orientation for most hiking paths from the valley [A] and further (35) - (B) - (14) up to the high plateau where the brook's meanderings flow continue in pleasant and delightful sceneries.

Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) and (32) offer excellent 
weather protection. Rainstorms can be powerful, 
and precautions follow all types of stay near the 
gorges, precipices and river banks.

The Beauty of the Valley [A]

Among Purging Water & Seductive Rocks

Here beneath the Sanctuary of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) are the full experiences of the open valley [A] above this sculptural gully and the river's fascinating formations in overwhelming contact. This dramatically graceful and sculptural valley beneath the elevated rock sanctuary of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) initiates a very gentle beginning of the Park. This valley, just above the sculptural gully, is the location of these pathways for many activities.

A Gate To Nature's Serenity

This valley [A] underneath and to the right of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) offers paths for many completely enchanting choices. The bridge crossing here is enticingly cosy and in close contact with the mountain. Although the beauty of the gully attracts waiting in pleasure, to not risk losing the scene, but in a spiritual sense, to remain in harmony and fully allow the mind to engulf its sculptural grace.

Enchanting River-dell

A Wonderful Valley for Promenade and Picnics [A]

While this site (19) within the valley [A] offers a required, convenient and exciting beauty, and the rain storms usually follow a bound rhythm, its experience in beautiful, cosy daily hours can be appealing and irresistible. However, this rain season adventure provides a conscious behaviour to return the short distance to Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) in time before the next thunderstorm. The valley within the square [A] shown in the map just below is very near and downhill when passing behind (5) Entoto Kidane Mehret Church (32). The scenery is inviting, with a brook passing by and a few charming cottages some steps toward the mountainside. The gorge underneath Entoto Kidane Mehret (32), with its stream, is, in many ways, assisting a pleasant and gorgeous invitation to the landscape. Thus, the gorge and the valley [A] at Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) characterise the beautiful views in the landscape of both meandering brook formations and charmingly lofty uphill trails. Thus, this sculptural river-dell within the valley [A] is an excellent beginning for direction for the ideas of requirements for most hiking paths up to the high plateau.

A Graceful River-dell and Waiting Adventures

A Lovely Choice During the Rainy Season and for the Cautious

The gentle beginning of these adventures starts among purging waterways and their seductively curved river-banks cliffs in the valley [A] below Entoto Kidane Mehret (32), with many attractive options for the continued hiking adventure. Well-fragrant and aesthetically unforgettably sensual appears these paths from Entoto Kidane Mehret's (32) valley [A]. Marked in the map as square [A], this valley with its water dell is initially more like a gorge next to the track (5) but soon becomes gentle and sculptural at the bridge crossing. With this graceful landscape of adorable river gullies, the river's vertical cliffside and waterfall still entice exploration by following the valley [A] uphill with the relatively gentle hike from point (37). Still just above this waterfall remains the Italian ruin (38) - (B). Here, the river's continuing journey rises towards breathtakingly sublime heights in the scene of the twilight canyon (35) - (B) - (14), with the Highland's aesthetically unforgettable dream paths surrounded by hidden waterways and rock dwellings lost in time.

Description of the Hiking Paths

A. The Character of Entoto Kidane Mehret's Valley

The square [A] serves as a directed and facilitating figure to find points (5), (19), and (37) more easily. This figure [A] configures the outer borders of the valley [A] that constitute the captivating and sculptural gully within the invitingly open valley of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32).  This area [A] begins most of the following hiking trails described. The sign of [CAUTION] is regarding the map circles (B) and (14). The alert sign within the map circle (B) is somewhat apparent and requires only staying away from the vertical precipice. 

B. The Invitation to the Crossroad of Wilderness

The still, gently upward hike shown within circle (B) includes points (35), (38), and (39) and constitutes both a crossroads of somewhat wild paths and a beautiful rise on a ledge of some metres threshold. This crossroads is located just to the right of point (38) within the circle (B), but regardless of the choice of the hiking paths within the loop point (B), all of these will soon contact the continued walk towards higher positions. Alerts for precipices within the circles (B) and (14).

A Cosy Source for Family's Excursion 

Picnic and play for the young family

An excellent and cosy invitation to gain an initial practical view of underground reservoirs and water technologies and a comfortable little walk within the valley [A] is obtained just to the right of the bridge at Entoto Kidane Mehret (1). This place also offers an ideal little excursion for the young family on picnics where they can enjoy an open grass pitch offering all kinds of games right beneath the start of the breathtakingly beautiful mountain. In secrecy, just at the foundation of the rising hillside is the Italian aquifer tapping construction (19), where its concealed guise appears pleasantly discrete beneath the landscape. Thus, this mountain water and its belonging technology allure and intrigue here and near in its labyrinth of hidden impressions but simultaneously alluringly close for exploration.

The Majesty of the Mountain in Awe

This water source (19) also offers an ideal little excursion for the young family on picnics, where an open grass pitch offering all kinds of games can be enjoyed, which is breathtaking right beneath the start of the mountain. The Italian construction (19) at the site is nevertheless hidden underground and alluring for exploration of its hidden technology. However, a more thrilling adventure is often required and is offered by a cosy mountainous picnic for the amused hike family. The mountain's mighty hillside initiates the first steps of Entoto's threshold and rises majestically over the southern slope. In profound veneration of reverence, it appears to any visitors as it towers above a relatively high altitude. Caution is an essential foundation for preparation because the mountain's rise is quite demanding for visitors with otherwise healthy activities from the lowland experience.

This Sanctuary (32) is astonishingly hidden, tucked into the
mountain massif rising shoulder where perception arises very
soon when moving away a bit of piece of this protective town

The Concealed Path of 

Entoto Kidane Mehret

Hidden behind Entoto Kidane Mehret (32), this path makes a concealed curve below this 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. The view opens in a somewhat dramatic beauty with an irresistible, cosy river dell where the children play and laundry dries on the inviting soft, clean, polished rock bed. This place is an appealing beauty to appreciate on the first steps along the Sanctuary and the following bridge below Entoto Kidane Mehret (32). (Photo to the right by Ninara)

Shops for Picnics and Adventures

The most necessary for the Entoto Kidane Mehret's Valley experience, picnics, candy and shop (2) is across the bus or taxi stop Entoto Kidane Mehret (1). For those very early in the dawn, there is a small shop at the beginning of the Juniper forest, just next to the health spring with its associated buildings (31).

The Valley of Entoto Kidane Mehret and its River-dell

The valley bottom within the square [A] shown in the map just above is very near and downhill when passing through the community of Entoto Kidane Mehret Church (32). The scenery is inviting, with a brook passing by and a few charming cottages some steps toward the mountainside. The river-dell within the valley [A] with its stream is, in many ways, an ideal place for more comfortable visitors with a gentle and beautiful landscape. Hence, just behind the Sanctuary of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) offers somewhat dramatic views over the gorge at the Path (5) with quite steep contact with the gorge. Furthermore, this sculptural valley [A] is an excellent assistant for any coming adventure since it assists in finding directions for most hiking paths up to the high plateau.

Picnics and 
Spring Water to the Capital

𝐓𝐡𝐞 Cautious 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 the young 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 

Therefore, during the regular rain season, enjoying the pleasant and sunny day hours is appropriate with a family adventure along the beautifully undulated promenade within a delightful valley [A] and its enchantingly sculptural river dell. The Italian-built spring water facility (19) is within these young families' requirements and, therefore, an excellent choice for most activities and nature interests. 

The Background to the Water Technology.

This aquifer water-tapping technology originated when the Italians attempted to occupy Ethiopia. Although the Italians used their know-how and created something beneficial, the aquifer tech came within a few years instead to benefit the local inhabitants. Hence, 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. 

𝐓𝐡𝐞 B𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 C𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 of the Valley [A]

The valley crossing of Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) constitutes a bridge [A] by first passing behind and downhill of the Sanctuary (32), which further invites a gentle walk to the place for picnic and games at the Italian reservoir (19) located just to the right by a gently undulated and charmingly curved path. The bridge crossing here [A] is also the natural path for those who want to hike towards the high plateau by first passing point (37) - [A] just a few steps within the map square [A]. This dramatically graceful and sculptural valley [A] below Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) constitutes a crossroad for many choices. Within this inviting valley [A] of pathways and bridge crossing [A], this enticingly cosy and inspiring gully attracts waiting in expectation or enticing exploration. Here are the full experiences of the ravine above this river in its fascinating formations and complete contact.

** 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.

Comfortable Arrivals with Regular Service

Taxis and Buses in the Foliage's Freshness

The transportation to Entoto Kidane Mehret (1) 

For a pleasant visit, please do not mix Entoto
Kidane Mehret (1) and its valley [A] on the
same day as Entoto Park (Z) and the high
 plateau of  Entoto Maryam (43).

The regular services and cosy contact with the site's adorable Sanctuary (32), including its family-friendly promenade for picnics (19) with a taxi route offers easy transportation along the mountain's side that reaches a traditional gate to Entoto Natural Park (1) and its valley [A]. This is also a gate to a fairly gentle hiking range to the vast high plateau (14) - (16). Those who want pleasure and culture without any mountain hike can choose public transport (taxi) to Entoto Maryam (43). 

Caution: Visiting Multiple Locations

Therefore, a gentle approach to these different locations is to avoid tiring ordeals by visiting multiple places on the same day. A prudent advice is to wait until the following week for a new adventure. Learning about this vast area and its possibilities often requires more time than the active can achieve. Thus, although the maps and specific points can offer a quick way to find highlights within half an hour's walk from Entoto Kidane Mehret (1), it's pleasant to start at its Sanctuary (32) together with the valley [A] but be careful about first time hiking to (14) - (16).

Entoto Kidane Mehret Sanctuary (32) and Town (1)

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 deeply associated with spiritual devotion and conviction. However, cosy restaurants, hotels and Guesthouses still need to be included, which means that the nearest accommodation for tourism is the Shero Meda (Shiromeda) community.  

A Concealed Mountain Sanctuary

The Ascent to Entoto Kidane Mahret

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 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).

Thunderstorm Protections are Available:

Entoto Kidane Mehret (1), Entoto Maryam (43), Entoto Park (Z)

Safety and Security

These rainstorms can be very powerful, and precautions follow all types of stay near the river banks, which express their danger in indicatory warnings by the gorges' classical formations. These beautifully sculptural formations reveal the gorge's historic high water flow and give signs during thunderstorms to avoid these dangerous water imprints with the highest priority. This fact of the inexorably savage forces of the water should, therefore, cause exposed hikers to immediately seek out higher ground above the ruthless water flow of the gorges.

Picnics Care for the Family (19)

The most beautiful and versatile Nature and fascinating places, which are also reachable with charming simplicity, are often the primary for family picnics but 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 entertainment, the picnic requirements require some unique and beautiful characteristics. Therefore, during the regular rain season, pleasant and sunny day hours still prevail daily and attract to beautifully undulated promenade within a delightful valley [A], and its enchantingly sculptural glen is appropriate. The Italian-built spring water facility (19) - [A] is within the young family's requirements and, therefore, an excellent choice for most activities and nature interests.
