Great for hiking without going out of the city. It also has a great view of the city.

A perfect getaway from the weeks hectic days. A beautiful scenery, amazing view and different atmosphere. Perfect place to hike do picnic and with children playground. It's just refreshing. We also tried the pottery class which needs to be booked in advance. Mama Shekla (Mamas Pottery) is just a fun class for kids and adults. There is plenty of parking and sitting area. The bathrooms need work and can be improved. Definitely recommended.

My favorite place in Addis. It's quiet, lovely nature, not too many people. Perfect for walks. If you are lucky you will see some wildlife but for sure you will hear many birds and see lots of flowers.
