My town is located in the foot of a very well-known mountain in Central Java (Mt. Merbabu - 3,145 m (10,318 ft), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Merbabu). Around it there are several interesting places to go: mount climbing, waterfall, art village, volcano pass, strawberry gardens, etc.
One of them is a place called Sidomukti (Umbul Sidomukti). It is located in Sidomukti Village, Kecamatan Bandungan, Kabupaten Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. It becomes a tourism object since it was open in August 2, 2007.
It takes about an hour to get there by motorbike. My friends and me visited it last year. The route itself is climbing, curving, and some of it are still damaged, but the sceneries are worth!
After arriving we will be greeted by the fresh air and the view is great (though sometimes hidden by the fogs). Besides, this place also offers many games to play, three swimming pools, garden and gazebos, etc.
Wanna ride a horse and do sightseeing?
