stroll and ramble are quite synonymous, but IMO ramble accentuates the lack of direction or purpose:
Ramble
1 a : to move usually by walking from place to place without conscious aim or goal : stroll here and there :

Hike carries a sense of more energy, something you do for the exercise or for the views from the top of a mountain. If I were going on a hike, I'd have sturdy shoes, a water bottle, perhaps a snack... but for a stroll, I'd just step out my door. I would go for a stroll after dinner, but I wouldn't go for a hike.
Both hike and stroll (and walk) can be nouns. Go for a hike, go for a stroll
