Selo lane

Subdistrict boyolali Selo entered the district, Central Java. Selo is in the middle between Merbabu and Mount Merapi. Climbers who want to climb the summit of Mount Merapi prefer to take the path of this Selo. While Mountaineering Merbabu prefer climbing from Kopeng and down in Selo.

Before doing Ppendakian should report at Police Station Selo, after signing up to go to the base camp of Mt.. Merbabu, from Selo precisely from the police station, climbers must walk down a paved road about 3 hours, quite far away and uphill so it is quite tiring. Crossing the villages and fields that are in steep slopes. Climbers can hire a car like vegetables to go to basecamp, or can also ride motorcycles. For heating climbing, walking can be a cheaper option.

Usually climbers stay at home residents after or before climbing a mountain Merbabu also be basecamp. Her house is very large can accommodate dozens of climbers who stayed. In this citizen home hikers can order food and drinks, such as fried rice, boiled noodles, and coffee. Stickers T-shirts and various cendara eye can also be obtained in the form of basecamp that these people's homes. There is only one bathroom in which the water flows very small so if crowded climbers who stay, it must be a long queue for the bathroom.

From the base camp, climbing camp begins by crossing a very broad area that fostered the pines so pretty shady and cool in the daytime. Sloped then start entering the forest. Climbing lane is still quite gentle, but will often found the T-junction, and the intersection path leading to the township residents, as well as track the population looking for firewood and grass, for it still choose the path of least width. Walking around one hour will arrive at the intersection of lines.

From the intersection still slightly sloping path through the forest will meet with dry river sand. After crossing a dry river began slightly uphill path through the forest, but still. After walking about an hour of this dry river winding paths once steep climb up the hill and we come around the bend tiger. In this Tiger bend we could look down into the abyss that is still shrouded in dense forest. In this Tiger bend down climbers can get lost because the actual paths are hand side instead of straight down.

Of bend lines Tigers started slightly open, but still through the forest that is not too heavy again. Path began to climb, the next half hour started a little difficult path and increasingly steep. About an hour from the Corner Tigers climbers will arrive at Slate.

Many are growing Edelweiss tall and big so that it can be used for shelter. Climber who fell Gn.Merbabu, in Slate, there are also alternative paths that seem very clear but slightly up the hill. Dangerous path across a narrow ridge with a side ravine and guess right, you should not pass this point, still follow the official track.

From Slate terrain begins to open grassland very steep and dusty. When the rainy season is very slippery path that needs to struggle very hard to crawl to move upwards. The peak of Mount Merbabu is still not visible, climbers still have to pass four steep hill to reach the top of Mount Merbabu.

About 1 hour struggle across the rugged terrain and steep climbers will reach the top of the hill, then down and ramps across the prairies. The scenery around in the Meadow is very beautiful, like hills Teletubies. Slightly up hill and then down again climbers will get Jemblongan ie a place that many tumbuhi Edelweiis in large size and tight so that form a shady forest.

Climbers can take a break while lying in the shade of the woods Edelweiss. Here is the last place that can be used for shelter and rest comfortably, because the next track in the form of open grassland, dry and very steep, dusty in the dry season and very slippery in the wet season.

From Jemblongan back climbers must fight to climb steep hills, slippery and dusty. The peak of Mount Merbabu is still visible as it is covered hill. The natural landscape is quite entertaining, on the left side there is Mount Kenong and on the right side of the mountain there is a sharp and steep Kukusan.

After walking about 1 hour will appear peaks Merbabu. Very beautiful scenery in front of the eyes, as well as stunning scenery, as we see steep terrain path we should go to reach the top of the mountain Merbabu. Reversed view towards Mount Merapi is also very beautiful. When we walked carefully around about 25 meters on the right track we will find a stone berlobang.Sekitar 30 minutes to 1 hour takes up the fight end with a steep meadow paths and dusty to reach the highest peak of the mountain Merbabu. On arrival at the summit of Mount Merbabu, to go to the top Kenteng Songo we walked about 10 minutes to the east.

At the peak there Songo Kenteng sacred hollow rock community. In these peaks are hammered stone / mortar / perforated with number 9 pieces that can only be seen, according to psychic vision. Eye sees only 4 pieces of hollow stone.

From the top we can look at Songo Kenteng Gn. Merapi peak steaming at any time, visible near the west looked Gn.Sumbing sekali.Ke Sundoro visible and very clear and beautiful, as if challenging for in the dirt. Closer look Gn. Telomoyo and Gn.Ungaran. From a distance eastward looks Gn. Lawu with elongated peak.

Legend of Mount Ungaran

Ungaran mountain is a volcano located on the island of Java, Indonesia. With an altitude of 2,050 meters, the mountain is the first high-mountain riders seen from Semarang to the south, on the right side (west). According to historical records, other names of this mountain is Karundungan (inscription Kuti), Karurungan / Karungrangan (Tantu Panggelaran), Karungrungan (Bujangga Manik, Aji Saka Fiber, Fiber Kanda), Kroenroengan (Domis, 1825), and Ngroengroengan (Bleeker, 1850, Friedrich 1870).

At the foot of this mountain lies Ungaran city, the administrative center of Semarang regency.
Mount Ungaran including strato type volcanos. This mountain has three peaks: Gendol, Bald, and Ungaran. The highest peak is Ungaran.

From the top of this mountain, if it would be seen looking north Java Sea while if turned, will be visible range (from left to right) Mount Merapi, Merbabu, Mount Telomoyo and Kendalisodo with Swamp Peningnya, Sumbing, Sindoro Mountain, and Mount Boat .

There is no clear record of the activities of this mountain. However, it is estimated this mountain has erupted in the days of ancient kingdoms, the most powerful eruption that destroyed two-thirds of the peak of the original so that it can be seen now is only a third of an ancient volcanic mountain Ungaran. It is estimated, the mountain is going through a deep sleep and at times can be active again.

Mount Ungaran have Hill dipterocarp forest, dipterocarp forest Upper Montane forest, and ericaceous forests or mountain forest.

On the slopes there are archaeological sites such as Gedong Songo (Javanese: gedong = building, Songo = nine). There are also several waterfalls (waterfall), including waterfall and waterfall Semirang Lawe. There is also a cave, which is known as the Cave of Japan. The cave is 200 meters before the summit, precisely around the township Promasan (township tea pickers). Here there are also the ruins of the ancient baths.

According to local myth, on a mountainside in the ranks of this temple there is a crater sulfur smell Dasamuka tomb. It is said that love drunk Dasamuka buried in the crater is by Hanuman. Hanuman himself then settles in Mount Telomoyo oversee Dasamuka if at any time rise. Dasamuka could rise if he smelled of liquor, to the local community (first) did not dare to drink in the area Gedong Songo.

Origin of fairy tales similar version of Mount Ungaran

According to local folklore Mount Ungaran place Gedong Songo stands of yore used by Hanuman to amass a large fight in the war Dasamuka Dewi Sinta. As is known in the story of the famous Ramayana pawayangan Dasamuka been kidnapped Dewi Sinta from the side of Rama, her husband. Sprott to seize back the great war broke out between the armies of giant Dasamuka against ape forces aided Rama Hanuman leadership. Syahdan in the war Dasamuka that magic can not be stoned to death despite various weapons by Rama. Seeing that the son of god Hanuman was then lifted a mountain to hoard Dasamuka body. Be Dasamuka buried alive by the mountain later known as mountain Ungaran. Dasamuka buried-life-style living at the base of the mountain every day Ungaran be issued moans gurgling sound that actually comes from the hot springs contained therein. Hot springs containing sulfur itself eventually became a shower to remove some skin diseases. In his lifetime Dasamuka reputedly fond of drinking liquor to anyone who came to Mount Ungaran to bring liquor will whet Dasamuka. Smell the alcohol Dasamuka moans became increasingly become, the more marked the bubbling hot springs. If it Dasamuka body moving can even cause small earthquakes. Similarly, according to local stories.

Community believe if Gedong Songo temple is awaited by supernatural beings who nicknamed Mbah Murdo. "Based on the great-grandparent story Gedong Songo built by Queen Sima for offerings to the Dewa," he said as quoted by the Mystery. That said, every time we face a thorny problem queen Sima meditated in this temple in order to get the best solution. Presumably, even this temple has magic powers. The proof, oversized Queen Sima recognized by his opponents. Even some subdued kingdoms and subject to the rule of Queen Sima. However, Siswoyo asserted, the story is simply passed down from ancestors. Until now a lot of visitors who perform special rituals in the temple. They begged for help in a variety of purpose can be granted. Reportedly, the temple is the most widely used for meditation is a temple located in the top row.

Before entering the Gedong Songo, visitors should have to ask for permission first to Mbah Murdo, which is believed to be the magical inhabitants of this region. Say hello to him, so that your trip or ritual undisturbed. In the area of cultural heritage temple Gedongsongo average temperature 19 to 27 degrees Celsius is proved to have the best bio-energy in Asia. Bioenergy in this region even better than in the mountains of Tibet or other mountains in Asia. Once we breathe bioenergy can provide freshness in mind, so bring fresh ideas. This will greatly help provide progress and improve the quality of life. Many springs with the foul-smelling smoke. That said, the water is full of good luck. Especially to cure skin diseases suffered by a person. Sacred spring was guarded by Nyai Gayatri, a woman from the island. That said, during his lifetime Nyai Gayatri is the queen's maid Sima, which is believed to be the first king in the land of Java. When it died, he chose to keep an eye water containing sulfur. Reportedly, Nyai Gayatri classified benevolent beings. He likes to give help to others, especially to cure various types of skin diseases. But, do not try to underestimate him because it can be fatal. Once upon a time there was a visitor who urinated in the spring. Suddenly she screamed as there are strangling him. After being taken to the paranormal, apparently, Nyai Gayatri, keeper of the springs was offended by the act of the visitors. After apologize, and even then incurable disease again.

The historians until now could not say when the temple was built and who the founder of the temple complex Gedong Songo. But look at the architecture of the temple, especially the shape of the temple foot frame, it can be concluded this temple contemporaneous with Dieng temple complex. The possibility of this temple was built around the eighth century AD, during the reign of Sanjaya Dynasty. It's just the name of its founder king can not be known. Gedong Songo temple Hindu religious background, this can be seen from the statues that occupy niches of the temple. For example statues Ciwa Mahadeva, Ciwa Grand Master, Ganeca, Dhurga Nahisasuramardhini, Nandiswara and Mahakala. According to experts about Evi Saraswati temple mentions the temple in Indonesia can be divided into two types. Namely Hindu temples and Buddhist temple. General characteristics of the two types lies in the shape of the building. Hindu temples tend to lean, sharp and high. While the Buddhist temple is round and big as Borobudur temple. Judging from the function of the temple is also divided into two functions, namely the temple as a place of worship, or worship and temples were used as a burial place. While the temple complex at this Gedong Songo expected a temple for the funeral. Because when found around the temple there are a lot of ash. Very likely this is a former combustion ashes of the deceased. According to Hindu teachings of the deceased are usually burned. The temple building is still intact form now only five buildings, the temple I, II, III, IV and V. The temple I consists of the building and is still intact, the temple II consists of two buildings of the main building is still intact, and the other is not intact. Temple III consists of three buildings which are all still intact. Temple IV there are four buildings of the temple, but only stayed one temple buildings are still intact. While Temple V Gated marks the foundation of the temple which shows that there formerly a lot of the temple. But now living one of the main temple building is still intact. Temple VI, VII, VIII and IX now no longer clear the remains, because there are some ruins that there are many who secured. Similarly, some statues are also kept by the Asylum and Archaeological Heritage in Central Java.

Sindoro Mountain

Sindoro - 3,136 meters above sea level, there are at least three names well known to the public, Sindoro, Sundoro or Sendoro. Is included in the ranks of the volcano that has a conical shape with the type of Strato. From a distance it looks like two twin brothers and the Sumbing between Sundoro, stood firm in Waterford District boundary west and east of the town of Wonosobo. Between them, separated by a saddle Kledung (1,405 m.dpl) that crosses the highway, connecting Wonosobo Magelang.

Mount Sundoro have coordinates / Geography at 7 18? LS and 109 59.5? BT and has a fairly broad area of Forest Area which is managed by Perhutani Wonosobo (772 m.dpl) and Waterford. Was at its peak, we could see the surrounding scenery, part of a stretch of mountain slopes planted with tea gardens surround the slope makes Sindoro looks green all year.

In the eastern part of the top of a flat measuring 400 x 300 m there is a large twin craters measuring 210 x 150 m, while the plains Segero Wedi, Banjaran, in the west and north, is the rest of the primary and secondary crater. Parasitic cones and craters found on the slopes of the southwest and northeast and in the feet southeast. Several hundred feet of the hill in the northeast according to Taverne and van Bemmelen is the remainder of a landslide erosion before the land before history or of lava.

Route Ascent
This volcano is easily reached from all directions, from east of Magelang, from west of Banjarnegara, from the north of Candiroto or Malay, while from the south of Purworejo. For Sundoro mountain climbing, there are two general pathways that are usually used, namely; Kledung and passing through the village of Desa Sigedang (Tambi).

Line Kledung

To achieve Kledung Village, Magelang bus ride from the majors to Wonosobo or otherwise, down in the village next Kledung Dieng Restaurant Pass. Travelling from the direction of Wonosobo just 3 Km. For lodging facilities in Kledung still not available, the only lodging in Wonosobo or Magelang, but we can stay at home or in the home village head of the local community.

In the village Kledung we can see an interesting sight towards good or towards Mount Sundoro Sumbing. Approximately 0.5 hours drive we will exceed the population of the woods and fields until at Watu Gede. Approximately 0.5 hour trip again we would get Situk, climbers and post here we can rest here. From Situk forwarded again, we'll see a fork in the road, straight and to the right.

Should we take that straight because this way is faster but more uphill, while the right path is flat and passes through the hillside, the two paths will meet in Pestan and can be reached within 2 hours of Situk.

Walking around 2-3 hours again we get Tatah Stone, somewhat rocky region. To the top takes 2 hours away, near the top we took a detour from the left towards the right to the top. From the village to the top of Sundoro Kledung this takes 7 hours and the drop takes 4 hours.

Mountaintop Sundoro a plateau area (400 x 300) meters, which is adjacent to the east there are two twin crater area (210 x 150) yards. While in the west and north are the plains Segoro Wedi and Banjaran and two unnamed plateau, which is the remainder of the primary and secondary craters.

According to the tradition of the people here every 1st Suro, the New Year in the Javanese calendar-Islam, many people who climbed Mount Sundoro this, to hold salvation at the summit.

Sigedang path-Tambi

Sigedang Path is a path that is somewhat difficult because the roads were uphill so rarely make the climb through here but the line was much in use as a line down because it is faster and closer to the Valley of Dieng.

Beginning our journey start forest vegetation typical of the mountains with a slightly closed so the air is quite cool. Then began to climb the terrain and vegetation began to open, so that when the weather is dry it becomes dusty terrain. Proceed with a field trip that began entering the forest again with a lot of trees so that the atmosphere becomes cool, on our way there we passed a river and a small waterfall so that the atmosphere becomes cool. The sound of water and the breeze so cool and peaceful with the atmosphere of the place is still covered with large trees Ungaran mountain.

From waterfalls proceed by walking to the right with a track that uphill and back sloped. Crossing the forest area as far as 1 km will take us to the plantation Sikendil. In coffee plantations, there are huts and water reservoirs that resembles a pool.

There is a branching path, to the left is toward the top being straight is the path to Babadan, Ungaran. The road uphill until then leveled off somewhat towards the T-junction which is the path to the top. At the end of the road is flat, we get to at the junction the kendil, a branching on the border between the coffee plantation.

At the end of the tea plantations we will see that is not so dense forest with mountain and pine lamtoro decorate. Next we will find paths meeting, take the straight path because the left lane is a lane from the junction. If we do not go down to the village Promasan but directly summit of the T-junction, when seeing this branching take the left path. Normal mileage of a T-junction and Promasan village to the summit is 2 hours with rugged terrain, full of rocks, and we often have to climb up the rocks one meter high.

Halfway or about 1 hour walk, we will see the rock cliffs with elevations of about 20 feet and decorated by savannas with rare trees. This area is very hot during the day and blustery in the absence of protective trees grow, mostly just reeds that we can meet here up to the peak.

It is recommended that climb to the top at night or early in the morning, in addition to safe drinking water also to avoid the scorching sun that can burn the skin. Pathway requires high vigilance here, as we pass through a steep rocky ridge big and slippery. We take the footpath around the cliffs.

Above the forest we can see steep cliffs, the trail to the cliffs along the middle towards the left and then turn right and finally came to a peak altitude of 2050 meters above sea Ungaran and decorated by a monument built by the military Battalion of Semarang.

Up and down hills Ungaran when done in the daytime there are unique, we can enjoy the atmosphere of fairly dense forest with steep cliffs decorated mountain tops Ungaran. Especially when we are in a valley flanked by two peaks.

After about 3 hours walking across the tracks that criss-cross anatara and steep ramps in the middle of a fairly dense forest, open path across the meadow into. During the day it got very hot and a lot of dust in the dry season so that should keep a distance with climbers in front of him because of the dust created by the climbers in front of her footsteps. Nevertheless we will be treated to beautiful views towards the mountains and swamps Dizziness Merbabu along perjalanan.Sedangkan in the southeast, we see Mount Telomoyo, Merbabu, and Mount Merapi.

Of the three hiking trails, paths through Garung Hamlet is the path that most interest to hikers because this track has a lot of safety instructions and the terrain is more secure and also the travel time by using this path is the fastest compared to the other two lines.

From Hamlet Garung climbers can start climbing with two alternative paths that climb the old track and the new track. No differences were specific to the second line was just the direction and angle of the climb just a little different. If using a long path it will be very heavy because around (seduplak roto) or fifth kilometer ascent climbers will find a field that berkemiringan climbing about 70 degrees, so that when the rain would be very dangerous to climb. Unlike the new path that lies to the west of the old track, climbing terrain is not as heavy as the old track only when using this path many hikers will pass through the small hilly area so it will feel much longer.

Here are the posts cleft mountain climbing.

MOUNTAINEERING

In June 2012, extracurricular "Pecinta Alam" hold Sumbing mountaineering.

climbing days I,

we gathered at school promptly at 7 am, and then we do a warm up, check equipment, and wait for the builder datang.setelah gather all we also walk up to the road while waiting for the bus that would take us to the destination.

after hours of 09.00 am bus came, traveling from Trunk to the first terminal, and then we went back up a second bus to get to the location, because the bus could not get past the first one of our goals. after a long journey we too until 14:00 pm after the break we started getting ready to climb the mountain. each person brings different equipment. The carrier bag I was carrying two sleeping bags, mattresses, medicines, mineral water, flashlights, food, sugar, nesting, knives, and a raincoat. we also set off around 17.30.

The first purpose is heading 1, approximately 3 miles from basecamp. we passing settlements, fields containing vegetables cabbage, mustard greens, and plants that live cold areas. This route is in the form of a neat rocky road and uphill, because the farmers as well. after some time we came to a dirt road and climbs more pronounced. often we stop to unwind because of the terrain uphill. finally we also arrived in the mail one we do not rest, immediately followed leading to the post 2.

The road to post 2 begins with a road shaped like a ladder, and the fog began to be felt. the road uphill and downhill we also often stop for a drink and unwind. after some time we also got the post 2. Here we briefly break for dinner. even though food potluck that instant noodle, food shall bring for climbing. interval of 2 hours we continued the journey.

in this way street begin to feel gritty and there is no place for tools so we help each other one sam. although many times we slipped but we are still eager to reach the top. and at around 01.30 am we also decided to take a break, but because of the circumstances we are less tired and strategic place to camp we were forced to sleep only repose tent and a raincoat (poncho), with a covered sleeping bag.

ascent of the day II,

although we sleep very simple and the cold night wind was blowing pretty hard, but we slept quite soundly. then we have breakfast with a potluck. after just before 07.00 am we continued the journey to the summit by bringing goods which need it, because here the terrain is too heavy to carry all the equipment so we just bring a box of mineral water and medicine.

in the journey of my friends who are not strong so it should go back to camp. after there are two intersections, the first and the second downhill road uphill road. in there me, yulia, izan and bakdama rest while waiting for our seniors to come because we missed the front group. seniors I take the road uphill, because me and my friends do not know the path we follow it. after the journey is quite long and rocky terrain we uphill until finally at the top of a dead-end. we also are confused how to get back down there enteurage under the peak of this dead end.

we were stuck in a dead-end and peak at an alumni diketawain because one took the road. and after thinking the way to get to the summit we also find a path that is quite complicated. we also climbed down slowly and carefully because if one takes the steps we will fall down immediately ditebing our karen. with the help of alumni and escort us all the truth can finally proceed.

after passing the "watu box" and not some time we also finally reach the top of the mountain Sumbing. wow cool, beautiful view from here, there are many mountains are visible from here, the mountain Sindoro, Merbabu mountain, Mount Merapi and much more.

we did not linger long dipuncak, we also immediately fell into bed last night. after we got some lam. Here we ate late. to eat rice, eggs and tempe tastes amazing, even though it feels normal and arguably not comfortable we still eat it. after our meal break.

we packed up to go down the mountain, the way down is expected to be much faster can a brisk walk or run small. after a while we also get to 2. Here we post a quick break and then back down again. My own journey down this fall into a hole about 1.5 m high enough, so I ask for help from other climbers to help me because I slipped. after that I was more cautious again. although often I fall because of sandy road.

half way through the post first, my friend there is unwell (feverish), so after Dipos 1 we also decided to spend the night here, because if it was continued to be dangerous with my friends. I am a 4 person tent, my tent next to the abyss, if we move a lot we can fall into the abyss.

the next day we packed up and went down to the base camp, before arriving at basecamp we ask for mineral water to residents because we ran out of water. after that we went on again and finally arrived at basecamp. we also rushed spotless clean, shower and eat breakfast. after completion there we also took pictures, and we also buy T-shirts chipped finally returned to Batang.

#Truly amazing experience, I did not expect to reach the top ... hopefully next time could climb again ...
