YOGYAKARTA: Breksi, The Garden Rock

Amazing photographs Breksi, The Garden Rock immediately attracts tourists come to visit the magnificent stone walls prove that being a tourist destination around Yogyakarta in the last year. Breksi presence as if completing the map of a tourist destination for all travelers who require comfort to escape from the daily routine that drab. After the tour of history, nature, culture, culinary, Merapi eruption, now rock with impressive specs. Position Breksi Garden Rock approximately 7 kilometers south of Prambanan, precisely in the hamlet Nglengkong, Groyokan Sambirejo Prambanan. Armed with GPS and signposts, this hill is not hard to find.

Crooked land is in the form of a limestone hill lurah for years explored as a source of livelihood of local communities as building materials. However, starting from 1995 mining operations have ceased, since the prohibition of Local Government. After research geologist stated, limestone breccia turns are deposits of volcanic ash from Ancient Volcano Nglanggeran. Thus, the area is included in the cultural heritage and must be preserved. Similarly, the existence of Ancient Volcano Nglanggeran, Candi Ijo, Ratu Boko and so on. At this location there are outcrops of sedimentary rock dust ancient volcano, pumice formed the morphology of the hill, the local population to mine this hill and generate criticism 30m-high cliff.

The presence of pumice prove convincingly that this layering is the result of an explosive volcanic eruption. Such rocks are often found from the hills in the area Parangtritis up in Wonogiri and with a thickness between 300-600 m. Best outcrop located in the village of Semilir, in District Pathuk, DIY, so this rock formation called Semilir Formation. Stratigraphically --bedding procession, Breksi Rock is above Pillow Lava Berbah. Wide distribution and the great thickness indicates that Semilir formation resulting from a series of events that large volcanic eruption about 20 million years ago that the possibility of not less powerful the Toba Volcano eruption. Therefore, this formation is called as a result of a super eruption of Volcano breeze. Of Pillow Lava Berbah under heading Semilir Formation located in the layer above it, has proved the development of a volcanic arc that was originally marked by volcanic activity 'monogenesis' - only to produce a molten lava beneath the sea, and then evolved into volcanic activity 'poligenesis that generates strato volcano - composed of lava and volkaniklastik perselingan, ending with a super event volcano eruption breeze. Formation Semilir boarded by Nglanggran formation, the younger composed of andesite breccia and andesite lava bit. Formation Nglanggran presence indicates that once formed the broad expanse of catastrophic volcanic eruption breezy, followed by the growth of new Strato volcanoes, the Volcano Nglanggran.

When Hill Breccia no longer allowed to be extracted as a building material, the local community propped up, how beautiful the rest of the cliff from around the boulders that have been mined for many years. Breccia stone cliffs soaring up to 30 meters, a tourist will feel so small when standing directly under the cliff. Sturdy stone walls and beautiful as if chiselled natural forces that would attract viewer interest. Yogyakarta once again proved itself as the public character of tourism services. Prohibition did not cause the stone quarry breccia local people have lost their livelihoods. From quarries stones, people switch to subsistence solidifying Taman Tebing Batu Breccia as one tourist destination in Yogyakarta neighborhood. In May 2015 the Governor of Yogyakarta Sri Sultan HB X inaugurated Wildlife  Breksi Garden Rock as a heritage area.

Society makes rung from the bottom up toward the cliffs 30 meters to the top of the cliff, then the tourists can gaze the entire layout of the city of Yogyakarta at the furthest point of Mount Merapi that stands tall with magnificent. Red and white flag fluttering in the sky, confirmed the unity of the nation. Staring at the red and white always with a feeling of the heart quiver. In the west, extending the airport Adi Sucpto, every moment seemed plane prepared to land  rotate runway. Railways seemed too long endless, always together, but never met until the end of the trip. Meanwhile, on the east side and the south, visible flow of the river through the hill and township residents, alampun greedy green, mist-ridden, vague.

On the morning of Breksi, The Garden Rock would greet the sunrise in golden yellow light. The afternoon the sun will set on the horizon, featuring a panorama that took place not too long, but always leave an impression very valuable. Red twilight always amazing, especially when seen from a height. From the cliff appears also Tlatar Seneng inscription: is a circular cultural performances right under the cliff.
