Summary

We all know Australia is the place for bushwalking... New Zealand has some good tracks too... but surprisingly the rest of the world has some places worth visiting too! (imaging that!)

This is the place to share walks from outside of Australia/New Zealand.

Shifen Waterfall 十分瀑布 (New Taipei City)

This is not much of a hike. There is a solid concrete path and road that takes you directly from the train station at Shifen to the waterfall. The viewpoints around the waterfall are incredibly crowded and can somewhat disrupt the view. I recommend going early to beat the tourists.

Xiangshan, Elephant Mountain

A short hike through the mountains in Taipei that connect to neighbouring mountains. The hike is accessible by public transport and has good views of the Taipei skyline. There are temples along the way and some wildlife can be seen. It's amazing to go straight from city to mountains.

A long difficult multi-day ascent of the highest mountain in Turkey and the supposed final resting place of Noah's Ark.

Ben A'an is one of the most popular amongst Scotland's smaller hills.

Bracklinn Falls

A loop walk past the idyllic Bracklinn Falls, a popular local picturesque spot and after crossing over the bridge the route climbs through forestry before descending to the quiet upper glen, with a return by minor road past the wishing well.

Butser Hill at 271 metres classify's as a Marilyn (peaks and hills in Britain with at least 150m prominence) and is the second highest peak in the Southern Downs National Park.
