I did a 2 day hike starting at sea level up the "Old Hermit Trail" into the mountain rainforest on Yakushima of the coast of southern Japan to see the multiple millennia old Jomon-sugi trees. oldest growth forest I've ever been in.
a very close second was Skara Brae and the Ring of Brodgar area of Prehistoric Orkney. it was in summer, sunny and gusty winds that coastline with the blue water, salty and violent air, and massive sky was incredible. I don't buy into generational memory, but that place felt familiar, like some kind of home.
