Getting away into nature far enough that you can't hear or see anything man-made (except maybe a path for you to follow).
On a day when there's no wind it's comforting to have no noise at all apart from little birds and insects, but the first time it can be a little unsettling when you realise how rare it is to experience that.
I second this, and also (for those living in urban areas) recommend spending the night outside somewhere with no light pollution. Going out on clear, moonless nights and looking at the stars was a formative experience for me as a child. I'm continually sad that it takes more time and effort as I age to find places to do this and the time/money to get to them.
