Fairfax Walk
The Fairfax walk offers superb views and an enjoyable, gentle walk. This short paved track starts at the end of North Head Scenic Drive and then loops around the top of North Head.
Its circuit connects three lookouts which provide the kinds of views you see on Sydney postcards. Look out over endless ocean or across the harbour to the CBD.
The Fairfax walk is ideal for families with children and is partially wheelchair accessible. It’s also an exceptional walk for whale watchers during the June–July and August–October migration seasons.
If you’ve still got energy to burn after completing the Fairfax walk, you can continue on through North Head Sanctuary. From there, just wind your way back down to Manly and join the Manly Scenic Walkway or take the Bluefish track to Shelley Beach.

MacRitchie Reservoir Loop
Rated by the Singaporean government as the most difficult hike in the entire country, The MacRitchie Reservoir loop is surprisingly easy, with no elevation gains. The only thing is distance. Along the path you can see wild monkeys (a lot of wild monkeys), snakes, big lizards and unique birds. While the track through the jungle is great, the real highlight is the variety of wildlife that seems to be just everywhere that you look.

Mt. Rysy, Tartra National Park.
Mt. Rysy is the tallest mountain in Poland. The hike takes you across some stunning alpine area and some amazing alpine lakes near the border of Slovakia. Be warned that this a very long hike that is gruelling and demanding. It requires some scrambling near the top that is not for the faint-hearted. But the views are wroth the effort and none of the scrambling is particularly complex. There are chains to guide you.
This hike can also be done from the Slovakian side which apparently easier.

Rats Castle & Hell Hole Circuit
Starting where the 4wd track starts to get particularly dicey as it begins the last drop to the Severn River follow the 4wd track down to the river which you will cross and follow down stream (this will be one of a few river crossings you will need to complete if the water level is high enough). Once you reach the circuit part of the walk this is where you will come across the main features of the walk. Described anti-clockwise you will first head up a steep section to a saddle which has a worthwhile detour to 'Hell Hole Peak' the small knoll that sits above the bend in the river and offers great views to the North and East. Then you descend to The Hell Hole a waterhole in the river and follow the river around to beneath the Rats Castle where you will cross the river and close the loop crossing the river once more before returning the way you came.
