This is a very rural and pleasant walk that takes in a number of local attractions along the way. It’s only a short walk out of Axum to a dusty and rocky path that winds around the local mountain and up to Pantalewon Monastery. There are excellent views at the top down to the ancient city and on a clear day the surrounding countryside is really quite pretty.
