Atmosphere slowly became quiet without being bogged down when the vehicle
drove down the street Kaliurang Kilometer 15. The houses are side by side with
the green paddy fields, lush trees and colorful flowers. Bustle
of the city lags far behind, straight north to the towering peak of Mount
Merapi as if to reach the sky. Thin
fog obscures the high peaks, Merapi as fog shrouded in mystery. The
road continues to climb, the air gets cool, even cold, the wind blowing as more
friendly.
Guard ready stand at the post, sell
tickets, charging a fee for any tourists who intend to visit the Ground. Then
the tourists have entered the area in Yogyakarta with comfortable travel. At
the intersection of Kaliurang monument stands as an icon of this site, the road
continues branching and climbing. On
the two side of the road is a row of villas, rest area on holiday. The
atmosphere is calm, cool weather can cause travelers to forget the days of
hectic work comfortably.
For a short time, visitors can park in the space provided. Standing
around the parking a lot of stall selling
snacks and culinary typical --jadah tempe. Food
stalls hawking rabbit satay and other
culinary neatly lined up on the stairs go into Telogo Putri. Satay
relatively smaller size, but in the cold and hunger of this dish provides
enough calories. Traders salak and souvenirs are also willing to offer a sale. While
the monkeys looked at the trees, tourists crowded provide food later documented
in pictures.
The guard stood with alacrity ticket at the gate charge for any travelers
who intend to take a walk around the park. Not
far from the entrance to the fountain to welcome travelers, water sourced and
again fell into a crystal clear pool. Trompet
and spatu flowers looked beautiful in bloom, the rest of the
trees fresh green, towering. At
the height of the trees herd of nimble monkeys climbing and jumping, monkey
seemed confused when getting the rest of the beverage in the bottle, do not
know how to open for sipped. All travelers are
laughing.
The main purpose of this travel site is a waterfall gushing from a height
of cliffs, travelers only need to walk leisurely few minutes. Originally
waterfall spilled with rumbling, but the eruption of Merapi on November, 10 th2010
led to the death of water flow at all. Now
only a trickle of water very soft, but soft as any stream, the water still presents
coolness. Travelers
always found time to take a shot at this place. Around
the waterfall there is a children's playground, every family vacation can
provide wholesome entertainment for children in the cool air. Travelers
who like walking can continue on with the climb up the hill to reach the
heights to get specific and stunning scenery. Yogya
travel is not complete without a stop in Kaliurang, this specific place.
Kaliurang literally means "river shrimp", a river in which to
live anyway shrimp habitat. At
the beginning of the 19th century, a Dutch geologist who settled in Yogyakarta
took the initiative to look for the family resting place. The
geologists all along the highlands in the northern region of Yogyakarta and
arrived at the Kaliurang area at an altitude of about 900m above sea level. The
air is cool, calm situation qualify as a resting place. It
was established Wisma Kaliurang, and Ullen Sentallu who is now a historical
building. Location
Ullen Sentalu underground, the museum reveals the mystery of the culture and
values of Javanese history, especially relating to the life of the daughter
of Keraton Yogyakarta and Surakarta in the 19th century.
Until now Kaliurang still crowded with travelers especially on holidays. Rows
of villas is always ready to provide a place of rest, cool air, the atmosphere
was cozy. In
this situation all travelers can be a moment of rest, forget the days of
exhausting work.
