🇳🇿 Abel Tasman NP (Tonga Quarry to Anchorage, with Cascade Falls and Cleopatra's pool)
A beautiful hike along the mid-section of popular Abel Tasman Park Coast Walk. A lot of nice beaches and great views along the way. The track condition is very good and only the path to the tranquil Cascade Falls leads over some rocks and roots. Cleopatra's crystal clear pools invite for a refreshing dip in the crispy cold water.

🇻🇳 Panorama hike to Hon Kho (Nha Trang)
A short hike from the ocean to the peak of Hon Kho that offers great views of the city of Nha Trang and its surroundings. In total there are three peaks on the way (Angel Mountain, Co Thien, Hon Kho), each of them bearing a Vietnam flag, of which Hon Kho is the last one. In the beginning, the path is full of gravel and loose stones, especially after heavy rainfall, therfore proper shoes are recommended. Between the first and the second peak, is a quite steep section that could pose some difficulties for inexperienced hikers. The views from Hon Kho don't add much to those from the two previous peaks, though. Especially the view towards the north is best from Co Tien, the second peak.

🇱🇦 Muang Ngoy to Phanoi Viewpoint (high)
Nice viewpoint, easily accessible. The second half might be slippery after rain as it's mainly on stairs worked into the muddy underground. Proper shoes are recommended.

The more easily accessible viewpoint from Mt. Aso Volcano Museum. The path leads over long flights of low "Geisha" stairs. On top, it's necessary to circle the crater to get a full picture of the surroundings. Nice, but less spectacular than on top of opposing Mt. Eboshi.

Actually planned as a hike up to the Sky Bridge, the tour turned into a hike to 701 Peak. The two pathes from either the Seven Wells or the Blue Pond to the Sky Bridge don't seem to exist anymore. Additionally, the names 701 Peak and Mt. Machinchang seem to be used synonymous, which is confusing when
