NGLANGGERAN
Mount nglanggeran is situated in Nglanggeran
village, Patuk, Gunung Kidul. The mount is
constructed of ancient volcanic materials and is
estimated active until around 70 million years ago.
The stones are quite huge and very challenging to
climb on top of them. The local people call it Mount
Wayang because there are lumps of big stones
which resemble wayang characters. From a
distance the formation of the stones is really
amazing and giving scenic view of series of wayang
arranged on top of plateau.
Mount Nglanggeran offers a distinguished sensation
for night hike. There are some alternative hiking
tracks with different difficulties. The first hiking post
will be the sloping rock called Latar Gede where
hikers can enjoy sunset. The hardest and most
challenging part is when arriving at the area of
mountain rocks at more than 100 meters high.
Beginner hikers should carefully choose the track
because there are some tracks that have steep
narrow valleys. The highest peak of Mount
Nglanggeran is Mount Gede, a mountain of a half
acre rock lump from which hikers are able to enjoy
the star-spangle, city lights, and the sunrise.
In this area, there is a narrow rift that only fits one
person. It is called Goa Jepang which is believed to

be the hide way of Japanese army chased by the
American troops in World War II. This mount seems
to be the perfect hide way since it has 28 springs
and rocky topography. Right beside the Goa there is
a spring from the seepage through which flows
water down.
