South of this city exactly cleft. 3371 M berketinggian mount in addition to being an important part of the town of Wonosobo is also an important part of the purpose of the climbers that are higher than 3000 M and is the second highest peak in Central Java.

Field situation is very barren mountains in the dry season, this condition is caused by this mountain pungungan open and close almost full of weeds. Water sources is also difficult to find unless there is a spring at an elevation of 2200 AD, ie at about the genus (long track) or in Kedung (new line) and has a permanent form for this spring is also used for agriculture. The road to the top after the farm is a rocky path. The route is known rock climbers vulnerable to landslides are advised to be careful through this route. After a rocky road through the climbers will be able to reach the top of a dead end (3371 AD). from this peak climbers must surround the path to go down into the crater of Mount Harelip. From the top of a dead end on the morning of climbers can see the majestic Mount Sundoro located right in front of the eyes and the beauty of Mount Slamet (3428 F) 110 Km west of the Cleft

This mountain climbing can be done through three alternative climbing routes are:

* Route Cepit Parakan (East Pungungan)
* Route Kalikajar (West Pungungan)
* Route Garung Village (North Pungungan)

from the third route, the road through the village streets Garung the most interest to climbers because this line has a lot of security guidance and terrain is much more secure and also travel time travel by using this route is the fastest compared with the other two lines.
From Hamlet Garung climbers can start the climb to the alternative route two long lines and new lines. There are no specific differences regarding the direction of this road and the climb angle is only slightly different. If you use the old line will be very difficult, because in some (seduplak Roto) or five miles to find the climbers climbing climbing berkemiringan area around 70 degrees, so when the rain will be very dangerous to climb. Unlike the new line is just west of the old route, the climb is not as heavy as the field long lines only when using this route many climbers going through the small hills that will be felt much longer.

Here are the posts cleft mountain climbing.

Long lines

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING LANE OF MERBABU

Jalur Pendakian

Mount Merbabu quite popular as an arena of climbing activities. Area is not too heavy, but the potential hazards to watch out for climbers is cold, thick fog, a dense but homogeneous forest (forest conifers, which are not adequate to support a means of survival or survival), and lack of water resources. Respecting local traditions also need to be taken into account.

Kopeng Thekelan.
From Jakarta to take the train or bus to Semarang, Yogya, or Solo. Followed by the Solo-Semarang bus down in the city of Salatiga, followed by a small bus to Kopeng. From Yogya bus to Magelang, followed by a small bus to Kopeng. From Kopeng there are many routes to the summit, but rather through the village because there tekelan posts that can provide information as well as a variety of assistance needed. Pos Tekelan can be done through the camp Songo Bannerman.

Songo banner at the camp you can rest at night waiting for the climb would be better done at night to arrive before sunrise dipuncak. You can also relax in the Post Thekelan provide a place to sleep, especially when not carrying a tent. Can also camped in Post Pending because in three places, we can obtain clean water.

Merbabu communities around the Buddhist majority, so we will see some monastery near Kopeng. Residents often do meditation or meditation, and many of the places sacred to the top. Taboo for climbers to not waste water in Watu Gubug and around Rabaul. In addition, climbers are not allowed to wear red and green colors.

In the new 1 inhabitants of Java suro traditional ceremony in the crater of Mount. Merbabu. In population Sapar Selo (south slope Merbabu) held a traditional ceremony. Girls in the village tekelan dreadlocked left to protect themselves and to earn salvation. The journey from the post in the middle of the village Tekelan, starting with people through the gardens and pine forests. From here we can see a splendid view of mountains and swamps Telomoyo Dizziness.

Delayed in the post we can find a spring, also we will find a small river (Kali Sowo). Before I got to the post we will pass the White Pereng we must be careful because it is very steep. Then we passed a dry river, the scenery is very beautiful here below to see the town of Salatiga, especially at night.

From my post we will pass into the mixed forest of Post II Post III lines begin to open and start to climb the steep road. We climb the mountain Pertapan, felt the wind waves, especially in the open. We can take refuge in Watu Gubug, a stone with a hole that can be entered 5 people. Said to be the gate to the kingdom of magical creatures.

If the storm should not proceed because it is very dangerous. Approaching the four headings we climb Mt. Watu write a bit steep lines and lots of sand and small pebbles so smooth, strong winds carrying dust and sand that must be prepared to turn a blind eye when there is a strong wind.

We will pass through meadows and forests edelweis, is also flowering hills are very beautiful and fun as india is very entertaining movie that we will forget all the tiredness, cold and hungry. Along the way we can see that look very Gn.Merapi close to the top of the always remove smoke.

We're going down and climbing some small mountains covered with green grass with no trees to shelter from the wind waves. Along the way there are no springs and post resort. Fog and storms often appear suddenly, so it is very dangerous to set up a tent.

Selo route is very much with no signs of signs, so it is very confusing climbers. Many who frequently traveled route to seek grass population dipuncak mountain, so climbers going up diperkampungan population. Welcoming and very friendly and festive Selo given by residents for every climber who had just come down Gn.Merbabu. If you do not speak Javanese just say thank you.
