Lack of sinage made this difficult to figure out where to go. Nothing was open on Monday. Is an okay walk in central Rome.
Acropolis Walk (Greece)

Not the greatest historical site in the ancient world but certainly one of the most famous. Heard a bunch of American tourists squabbling over the wi-fi password instead of enjoying the views and history that the place has to offer. Recommend in combination with Acropolis museum and the British museum in order to get the full experience.

Was an absolutely insane hike. Started at 4 AM (took taxi up to Prionia) and smashed out the hike in a day. Scramble to the top can be sketchy and certainly isn't for the faint hearted! Cool to see wild horses and foxes. According to the taxi driver, if you are really lucky, you might catch some wolves as well. Met Zeus at the summit who kindly shared some of his ambrosia with me.

Uresan 宇連山 (Aichi Prefecture) (Japan)

I did this hike with the intention of seeing the jourouiwa whcih has the best views of the hike (and only views) but as it is not listed on any official hiking pages, I was unable to find the track and unfortunately didn't get the cool view over lake Horai. If you have a subscription to Yamap or Yamareco, recommend downloading someone's GPX who actually managed to get to jourouiwa.

Did this hike. Was navigationally tough. Also lots of signs about leeches, if hiking between May and November watch out. At end of hike is a good cafe run by a very sweet old lady who own eight cats and an owl.
