Since I was a child my luckiest memories were collected in nature.
I love the mountains particularly. Simply the view is incredible. And being powerless and sweaty after hours of walking while drinking some cold water is an incredibly levitating feeling. It's based to see the vegetation changes when you go up there, at first forest, then grassland and in the end nothing more than stone and snow, what takes thousands of kilometers due to latidutinal changes normally happens within a few meters in the mountains due to altitudinal changes. And mountain lakes have incredibly clear water too. The flowers there are incredible both in vastness, aesthetics and smell.
Having a good book guide with you is even more based, it's incredible what lives there and what it can do. From carnivorous plants to parasitic plants to those capable of surviving under the most harsh conditions.
Since getting deeper into that shit I mostly plan my walks after certain life forms & landscapes I want to observe. If you know what you see everything feels like an entirely different world that only you know.
Getting started is incredibly easy too, you can either download a book guide (for free on various libraries like Z-lib) or you can install an app for identification of plant & animal life like PictureThis (not 100% trustable of course), often they have labels too. And with some learning you can and will recognize what you see on your own.
It's the best thing and mostly unaffected by the clownery found in the modern, civilized world. Be it the moors, the forests or the mountains, nature is one of the best refuges.
