Lawu Mountain (3265
m) is located on the island of Java, Indonesia, exactly on the border town of
Central Java and East Java. Status of this mountain is a inactive volcano"resting"
and has long been inactive, visible from the dense vegetation and eroded its
peak. On the slopes there is a small crater that still emit water vapor
(fumaroles) and sulfur (solfatara). Lawu have Dipterokarp forest hill, forest
Dipterokarp Upper Montane forest, and forest Ericaceous.
Lawu has three
peaks, peak Hargo Dalem, Hargo Dumiling and Hargo Dumilah. The latter is the
highest peak.
On the slopes,
there are a number of places are popular as tourist destinations, particularly
in the Tawangmangu, Cemorosewu, and Sarangan Lake. Slightly downward, on the
west side there are two complex enshrinement of late Majapahit: Sukuh Temple
and Cetho Temple. At the foot of the mountain is well located relative burial
complex Praja Mangkunagaran: Girilayu Astana and Astana Mangadeg. This complex
is located near Astana Giribangun, a family mausoleum for the second president
of Indonesia, Suharto.
Lawu very
popular for climbing activities. Every night 1st Sura (ethnic Javanese calendar) lot of people
make pilgrimages to climb to the top. Because of the popularity, sunrise when
viewed from the top Lawu is very beautiful, also can be found even food
vendors.
Standard
ascent can be started from two places (basecamp): Cemorokandang in Tawangmangu,
Central Java and Cemorosewu, in Sarangan, East Java. Both separate entrance
just 200 m.
Ascent of
Cemorosewu through two springs: Spring Panguripan, 1st located
between Cemorosewu and Post 1 th, 2nd Spring Drajat between Post 4 th and
Post 5 th.
Climbing
through Cemorokandang will pass through 5 selter with relative paths already
well.
Climbing
through cemorosewu will pass through 5 pos. Path through Cemorosewu more heavy track.
However, if we pass this point we will reach the top faster than via the
Cemorokandang. Climbing through Cemorosewu went rather well ordered. The road
made of cobblestones that have been
laid out.
The path of
the post 3th towards post 4th form a ladder made of
natural stone. Post new 4th renovated, so for now at pos 4th no buildings for shelter. Usually we are not
aware of having reached the post 4th.
Near post 4 we
can see the lake from kejahuan Sarangan. Line from post 4 to post 5 very
comfortable, not like heavy-track path to the post 4 th. In pos 2nd
are big stones which we called the split rock (because as in the split).
Near the
entrance there is a building like Cemorosewu mosque is apparently makam.to climb
through Cemorosewu (for beginners) do not climb in the afternoon because the
terrain is tough for beginners.
At the Hargo Dumilah
there is a memorial summit.
