Indonesian Disaster Prone

In histografi, Indonesia is a subscription area of ​​the earthquake and tsunami. Post-eruption of Mount Krakatoa caused a giant tsunami in 1883, at least there has been a great 17 tsunami disaster in Indonesia for almost a century (1900-1996).

Large earthquake and tsunami disaster that last occurred in late 2004 in Aceh and parts of North Sumatra. More than 150,000 people died. But earthquakes occur almost every year in Indonesia. After the earthquake in Aceh in late 2004, in 2005 the island of Nias and surrounding areas are also hit by the quake. Around 1000 people became victims. End of May 2006, the turn of Yogyakarta in Central Java earthquake devastated. Meningggal victim reached over 5,000 people.
Various regions in Indonesia is the point of disaster-prone, especially earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and volcanic eruptions. Indonesia territory surrounded by the Eurasian plate, the Indo-Australian plate and Pacific plate. At times these plates will shift breaking cause earthquakes. Furthermore, in case of collision of tectonic antarlempeng can produce tsunamis, as happened in Aceh and North Sumatra.
Note from the Directorate of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (DVMBG) Department of Energy and Mineral Resources shows that there are 28 regions in Indonesia are stated prone to earthquake and tsunami. Among the NAD, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Bengkulu, Lampung, Banten, Central Java and Yogyakarta, South Java, South Bali, NTB and NTT. Then North Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, North Maluku, South Moluccas, Biak, Yapen and Fak-Fak in Papua and East Kalimantan Balikpapan.
In addition to the three tectonic plates encircled the world, Indonesia is also the path of The Pasicif Ring of Fire (Pacific Ring of Fire), which is a series of lines of active volcanoes in the world. Pacific ring of fire stretching between the Pacific plate subduction and separation of the Indo-Australian Plate, the Eurasian plate, North American Plate and the Nazca plate is colliding with the South American plate. He stretches from the west coast of South America began, continues to the west coast of North America, circular to Canada, Kamsatschka peninsula, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand and South Pacific islands. Indonesia has a volcano with a number of approximately 240 pieces, in which nearly 70 of whom are still active. Zone seismicity and the active volcano is very well-known circum-Pacific region, because every great earthquake or a devastating tsunami in the region, confirmed human casualties very much.
To know when an earthquake will happen is hard work. This is because earthquakes can occur suddenly anywhere as long as it is still in the seismic zones of the earth. Thus it is still possible is to conduct early warning system (early warning sytem) which serves as an "alarm" if at any time Emergency earthquake came unexpectedly. Implementation of this system could be implemented by installing a seismograph is connected with the string of satellites. National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) USA for example, has been using sensors called DART (Deep Oceaan Assessment and Reporting) which is able to measure changes in sea waves caused by tectonic earthquake.
Earthquake detection instruments should be placed directly on the earthquake-prone areas such as Aceh, Nabire, Alor, Bengukulu, south coast of Java, and a number of other earthquake-prone areas. Detection tools installed monitored daily by a technical officer who was in the area concerned, which then sends it to the center for processing and further analysis by experts who are experts in their fields .***

See the Awesomeness Eruption of Mount Merapi

Merapi comes from two words "Meru" which means mountain, and "fire" which means the volcano. Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The eruption that occurred in 2006 along with a terrible earthquake.
In 1998, the mountain was once the smoke belching trash wedhus human skin that can blister. The form of heat and dust clouds with a temperature of 3000 º C, which erupted to a height of 3000 meters from the peak. In 1994 the hot cloud has killed 66 people on the slopes southwest. The last eruption in 2010 is very terrible to have destroyed many villages including the village of Kinahrejo even Interpreter Lock Merapi Mbah Marijan also become victims.
Because his name is very famous Mount Merapi is one idol of the climbers. Exhausting and winding journey across the steep hills is a challenge that must be conquered. Labuhan Merapi ceremonial tradition of Yogyakarta Palace also add to the appeal of Mount Merapi in the eyes of local hikers and climbers overseas.
So, do not be surprised if the mountain is always visited by climbers. Mount Merapi may climb from the South (Ground) Sleman, Yogyakarta or from the North (Selo) Boyolali territory or the territory west of Magelang.
Through the Ground
The line was long can not be bypassed because of the cold lava material at the peak of Merapi. From the city of Yogya drove to Ground, an area of ​​cool temperate mountain with an altitude of 1300m. Followed by a trip to the Village Kimahrejo. To reach the summit takes about 6 hours. Approaching the peak of Merapi we must be careful, because often the stones falling from the top.
Through Selo To reach the peak of Merapi, the climbers are required to pass through the north path. In addition to secure, nor so far away compared to the other lane. The path starts from the District Selo, Boyolali.
To get to this area is pretty easy. You can take a bus majors Semarang - Solo and down in Boyolali. From the terminal Boyolali little walk to the Market Beef Boyolali.
From here you can continue by bus majors Boyolali - Cepogo - Selo. From Selo or rather from Hamlet Plalangan, you can begin the journey.
With a walk through an asphalt road to the base camp in the hamlet Plalangan climb Merapi, Lencoh village, subdistrict Selo, Boyolali district.
With a distance of approximately 1 km from the highway Boyolali, Magelang, coupled with the uphill road enough to be a warm up before climbing into Gn.Merapi.
To the top, it only takes about 6 hours to descend, while it takes about 4 hours. Because the latency is quite short, the journey can begin at around 24.00, so that we can arrive Puncak Garuda clearly enjoy the sunrise. Climbers can rest at base camp that can accommodate about 50 people climbers. Here is a place to sleep rame-rame. Prepare water supplies during the trip because we are not going to see spring.
From our base camp via a paved road runs to the end of the asphalt road and will find homes joglo Pos1. Through the path to the left of this building will journey through a lot of people planted gardens tobacco and cabbage. Path slightly uphill, but a lot of gravel so it needs to be careful not to slip.
Half way to the Post 2 of garden inhabitants, the other half we started to enter the rugged pine forests. This path is the form of land but a lot of gravel so it is quite difficult journey. Approaching the second post we start to miss the big rocks.
From Post 2 is in the daytime we can already see Gn. Slamet behind Gn.Sumbing, and also Gn.Sundoro. Merbabu looked closer and it is very obvious-lane track. Lawu of the distance to the east appear elongated.
From Heading 2 to Heading 3 will be many paths through the rocks of the steep, high winds began to seem very disturbing. Use a thick jacket, gloves, and masks, because the chill wind. If you want to rest a stone look for cracks that can protect us from the gusts of wind. At night we could see the glitter of the city of Boyolali.
From the third to the Market Heading Bubrah, we will be faced with steep rocks. Here hikers have to walk and crawl in some places steep. Gusts of wind are felt, as if to forbid the climbers to approach this peak of Merapi.
In this Bubrah Market there is a valley with a scattering of rocks that resembles a very large traditional market. That said, the people considered that market as the market lelembut.
From Market Bubrah desperate climbers who can climb to the summit of Garuda. This peak has been damaged and landslides so it is very dangerous to make the climb. In addition to very steep and prone to landslides are also strong winds blowing constantly.
From the top of Garuda, you can see the stunning views, where the Merapi crater in front of the eyes incessantly smoke. There are also, in the north, Merbabu challenging to conquer. Across the West and East, and Mount Lawu Sindoro-cleft like humps green. If the weather is sunny, the scenery is more fun again, because you could see the town of Magelang and Boyolali. At the peak temperature may reach 5 degrees to -8 degrees.
Mount Merapi is believed to be the palace of spirits. Panembahan Senopati founder of the Mataram kingdom gained the victory in the war against the kingdom with the help of the ruler Pajang Merapi. Mount Merapi erupts, killing an army Pajang, the rest fled helter-skelter of fear. Residents believe that Mount Merapi, but inhabited by humans also inhabited by other creatures creature they call the nation alus or spirits.

Mount Tambora, on the history of the terrible and wonderful crater

Awe, spectacular and amazing at once proud and happy. Feelings that occurred to me while standing in a giant crater rim of Mount Tambora, a mountain eruptions have rocked the world nearly two centuries ago. Viewing diameter crater many miles feet in length and depth that reaches more than 1 km will surely make your admiration to the creator, God Almighty

Mount Tambora erupted in 1815 with very violently, killing 92,000 people. Because kedasyatannya until recorded in the history of the world. The greatness of the eruptions was recorded about 6 million times the power of the atomic bomb. This mountain has a diameter of about 60 km at altitudes of sea level. In 1815 an estimated height of this mountain about 4,000 meters.

The eruption of the mighty and terrible has formed a crater with a width of about 6 km, and with a depth of 1110 meters. Deploy about 150 km3 of dust, until it reaches a distance 1,300 km. Central Java and Kalimantan in the distance about 900 km from the eruption, falling 1 cm thick dust. Chunks of the eruption of floated until it reaches the height of 44 km.

The eruption in 1815 has caused the year without a summer, minimum temperatures each day are unnatural to be low in the northern hemisphere from late spring to early autumn. Widespread famine due to crop failure. Mount Tambora area reminiscent of the African grasslands. Along the coast Kerobih a rock that looks very beautiful to have a natural relief. The southern section of Mount Tambora is hilly with the background scenery is very beautiful.

Climbing
To climb Mount Tambora you should report to and permission to Pancasila village chief or to the local residents association of nature lovers, K-PATA. The place is you can get as much information about the route before making the ascent of Mount Tambora. If you need a guide, you can use the power of K-PATA members that have been adequately trained and familiar terrain of Mount Tambora well.

 After leaving the village of Pancasila, the way you are going through a fairly wide path that can be passed by four-wheel vehicles. On the left-right along the way, your path to the Forest of the Village Door Pancasila is an area of ​​coffee plantations. Other attractions which you will pass early in the journey is a complex of Hindu worship, Temple. In the complex of worship are equipped with public toilets and a few simple rooms as a place of Hindus who want to worship.

 
To arrive at the door of the Forest of Pancasila Village takes about two hours. Therefore I decided to use a motor ogek, quite able to shorten the time more quickly and of course power. Approximately only takes about 30 minutes. In the forest around the door you'll see some fruit of the coffee plantation buildings managers.

 
Then after the door Forest, you will traverse a path wide enough, and occasionally climb ramps. According to information I received, was once a former street car transporter timber harvested in forests Tambora. Along the way the path looks more overgrown bushes and weeds. But looks are also remnants of plantation timber harvesting has begun to re-green. Just be advised companies that operate concessions in place has been closed since 4 years ago. Tambora forest areas that were once broken open and now little by sedkit started booming again. Until finally after taking about 1 hour journey, you will arrive at the Post 1. In this place you can rest for a moment. Water sources are approximately 10 meters on the left side of the trail is in the form of water flow from the pipe pralon are accommodated in a plastic drum which is also a source of water the villagers at the foot of Mount Tambora.

 
On the way to the next post, climbing terrain character is not much different than before is still gentle, occasionally climbed with considerable undergrowth vegetation moist. However, when crossing this path you must be vigilant, because the population of leeches are pretty much ready to spy on you. Then you also have to be careful so that the tree through the forest is quite big because in some places looks like a branching path. And after traveling about two hours from the previous post you'll find a simple hut made of wood and zinc roof. That means you've arrived at Post 2. As in Heading 1, here too there are adequate water resources is a small river that is located not far from the post.

 
To get to the next post, from post 2 lanes pendakin down toward the creek. After crossing the path uphill and quite steep and sloping back to the forest vegetation is moist enough. If lucky, you can also find pheasant along this path. You will continue along the path which is quite varied, and occasionally climb ramps and must traverse several trees uprooted. Until about a half hour drive you will go through areas overgrown weeds and crops that means Heading 3 is not far away. In this place there is also such a simple cottage-walled houses on stilts and half a tin roof. Surrounding area is quite flat and wide can accommodate about 15 tents with a capacity of 3-4 people. Here there is also a source of clean water that is located approximately 250 meters from the post. That is why the post is normally used as the last post or a place to sleep before continuing the ascent to the crater rim or the top of Mount Tambora in the morning the next day. Ascent to the summit usually performed starting at 1:30 or early morning, as I do. For the climbers to the summit is usually only brought supplies light-light only while others are left in the post.

 
Summit Attack / to the Top
The trip to the Post 4 after the previous post, you will see one of the uniqueness of the forest vegetation of Mount Tambora nettle leaves pulus. Plants are full of leaves and stems covered with soft spines that will make your skin feel itchy and hot when touched. To avoid use clothes that cover your body. Forests are a lot of nettles growing along the route between the Pos 3 Pos 4 that can be taken approximately 30 minutes. Their area flat enough to be among the pine forest. On the way to the next post that can also be completed in about 30 minutes, nettle forest has begun to diminish and replaced by weeds and vegetation of small trees. In some places their area more open. When the weather is sunny in the west you can see a view of Mount Rinjani, Moyo Island and Island Satonda. Areas in the Post 5 is quite sheltered from the wind because the trees are mengelilingina. Here also there is a simple cottage.

 
Then the ascent to the crater rim or summit resumed. The closer the peak zone vegetation changed slowly from the trees into the type of plant shrubs and bushes. The hiking trail that ascends a winding circular path followed the ridge a few hills that seemed longer. However, the beautiful scenery and stunning already you can see along this route. Seem distant peak of Mount Tambora brown and barren. While in the West looks the ocean with islands that surround the island of Sumbawa. Comes in the morning crowing sound bersahut partridge-replication. Getting closer to the crater rim trail that traversed the sandy and rocky. After crossing the last bunch of pine trees, you will arrive at the sandy terrain and the mean area of ​​the crater rim is getting closer. Until eventually you will see a phenomenal and spectacular scenery. A sprawling giant crater in front of you.

 
Tambora huge crater
Looking up at the giant crater of Tambora, I try to imagine where the top of Mount Tambora in prior to the eruption at the time. Also proved difficult to imagine. Feelings of awe and terrible, that's what comes to mind when I stood on the broad plains of the giant crater this. Edelweis groves that grow in between the layers of the crater plains to give my own uniqueness. To be sure the crater is truly remarkable. Deep bottom of the crater Tambora seen vast inland areas. Interestingly, the most bottom of the crater can be seen grass grow. A small volcano in the middle of the crater increased the exotic and the spectacular crater of Tambora. In the language of the Milky volcano called Doro Afi Toi, which means a small volcano. Landscape walls towering crater is also quite stunning. Layers of the walls show how powerful the explosion was. Morning sun rises in the east view of the crater made increasingly mysterious. "The view of the crater and the peak jelatangnya spectacular and unique forests ...!," Said Connie, an employee of one of the largest banks in Indonesia, which also has a hobby of mountain climbing when polled about Mount Tambora.

 
According to historical records, the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora eruption is the largest since the eruption of Lake Toba. The explosion itself has entered seven Volcanic Explosivity scale. According to the literature of this eruption sound audible to the island of Sumatra (over 2,000 km). Abu vulkaniknya spreads and falls in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Java and Maluku. The number of casualties incurred are also quite a lot of reaching more than 92,000 inhabitants. Most of the victims was a resident of the island of Sumbawa and Lombok Island. Even the three kingdoms of the 6 kingdoms that stood at that time also destroyed. Three kingdom is the kingdom of Tambora Centre, Royal Kingdom of Concentrated and leaving the studio that now has a history of human civilization called Tambora Site. An archaeologist from the United States, Prof.. Sigurdsson Haroldur together with the directorate of volcanology Indonesia between July and s / d in August 2004 had found evidence of a lost culture destroyed by the eruption of Mount Tambora. He also mentions the remains of the evidence of history and culture that has succeeded in finding it as the "Pompeii of the East".

 
As a result of volcanic eruptions has even led to global climate change. One year later (1816) in North America and continental Europe, there has been a drastic climate change. In that year there has been a prolonged winter. Where the world knew him as the "Year Without a Summer" or Year Without Summer. Resulting in crop failures and massive livestock deaths in the northern hemisphere so menimblkan worst famine that occurred in the 19th century.

 
A hill that looks sharp, barren brown stood firm on the west side of the crater. Hill is also known as "Doro Meleme" - the pointy mountain - that is what is now the highest peak after the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. To reach the highest peak, from the lip of the crater you still have to walk again with travel time about 25 minutes. What you need to watch out for is when approaching the summit. If you do not want to fell or slipped you must proceed cautiously because of climbing terrain covered with sand and gravel.

 
On top of this you can find a triangulation - the height marker peg - made of cement to about half a meter. From here in addition to views of the crater, it looks too far to the west peak of Mount Rinjani and of course the open sea. It was an incredible sight.

 
For I or perhaps anyone who has and can see the giant crater of Mount Tambora would be pleased, happy and proud to be on top of a peak and saw firsthand the spectacular mountains that have been recorded in the history of the world. Mount the eruptions have rocked the world and also change the world civilization. Not much it seems that if one day serve as the Mount Tambora world heritage and tourist destinations or historical mountain mountaineering history.

 
Travel Tips
To get to Pancasila Village you can use either transport from Bima Town and City Dompu, Sumbawa Island. From Mataram to reach the village from the terminal Bertais, Mataram, you can use the bus majors Mataram - Calabai rate Rp. 125 thousand. This bus route is only one fruit a day and leave every morning around nine o'clock. Buses will arrive the next day at around 6 am Calabai. Then from the Sunday Market, Calabai, you can continue the journey back by using the motor at a rate OJEG between Rp. 25 thousand to Rp. 30 thousand. It would be nice if you go with the group, because usually bus drivers do not mind if asked to take up the village of Pancasila and certainly with little added cost of transport.

 
Alternatively the terminal Bertais, Mataram, you can also use an AC bus majors Mataram - Dompu with rates ranging from Rp. 125 thousand s / d Rp. 145 thousand (update, October 2008). The buses depart twice a day only the morning at 08.00 AM and the afternoon at 14.00 pm. Then the bus will usually arrive at the terminal Ginte, Dompu, 12 hours later. Likewise, if you depart from the town of Bima, you can use the bus to the town of Dompu in advance. Then from the terminal Ginte, Dompu, you can change vehicles to use bus Dompu majors - Calabai. Buses depart every day only twice that morning at 06.00 AM and the afternoon at 14.00 pm.
 
For accommodations hikers can stay at home the local village chief or local nature lovers association chairman, Mr Syaiful. The house also serve as the headquarters of a group of nature lovers, K-PATA, is the starting point of your ascent.

Real Adventure In Mount Raung

Tempting The Ascent Challenge Field Climber To Try it out. And the beauty of the Panorama Ultimate Nature Of Top Is Truly Valuable Gifts For The Climber After Trek Through The Weight

Raung is part of the mountain Ijen group consisting of several mountains, including Mount Suket (2.950mdpl), Raung (3.332mdpl), GunungPendil (2338), Mount Chain (2664), Mount Merapi (2800), Mount crushed (2092 ), and Ijen crater.
Raung is a great mountain and unique, different from the characteristics of the mountain on the island of Java umumnva this. The uniqueness of the summit of Mount roar is kalderanya the elliptical with a depth of about 500 feet deep, which is always smoky and often spouted fire and there are approximately 100m-high cone. Raung including an old mountain with a caldera at its peak and surrounded by many small peaks, making the scenery is absolutely amazing.
To climb Mt roar, the easiest is from the direction of Bondowoso. From Bondowoso continue to the village by using the Colt Resources Wringin through Sukosani. The journey begins from the village Sources Wringin through pine plantations and coffee plantations into Cottage Motor. Cottage Motor we can stay and rest, then we can move on to the summit which takes about 9 hours.
From cottage to Raung Motor, starting with the garden for 1 hour and then climbing into the woods with climbing angle is not too big that is about 20 degrees. These mountain forests consist of trees glentongan, arcisak, takir and others.
After climbing for 2 hours or about 1300 to 1400 m climbers will find a winding road and ride down to an altitude of about 1500 to 1600 m. In this area starts to look fir tree then forwarded to the hut ascent wells (1750 AD). after that pendakain will start hard and angle of ascent began to swell and the route is less clear because only a bush and then continue to climb for 3 hours to reach Pondok Demit.
Then the climber must climb for about 8 hours to reach the forest boundary, known as Pondok Mantri or Parasan at an altitude of about 2900-3000 m. this is where the climb to camp to rest. The journey continues through the grasslands (about 1 hour drive), then to the summit of Mount roar a little sandy and rocky. From the campground to the summit of Mount roar, only takes about 2 (two) hours.
Raung peak is located at an altitude of 3332 m above sea level and often blowing winds. From the edge of the crater there is no clear path to get to the bottom of the crater so that climbers who intend to prepare the crater down the ropes or other equipment to as a security measure. On the way to the summit of Mount roar, no springs. Better to be prepared in water or in Sources Sources Wringin Lekan. To climb Raung special permit is not required, just that we need to report to the village authorities in the Source Wringin.
Awesomeness Raung already seen from the names of the existing postal hike, starting from the Well Cottage, Demit Pondok, Pondok Pondok deceased and wind. All that has its own history until so named. Wells cottage for example, he said there is a well used a magic hermit from Gresik. The well and the ascetics believed still there, just invisible. In these wells cottage, while camping, as well as the sound of hooves that seemed to pass behind the tent.
Next Pondok Demit, this is where the activity of buying and selling the lelembut or known Parset (Market Satan). So, on certain days will be heard the crowd the market that often accompanied with music. Location vicious market is located on the east side line, a shallow valley which is only filled with tall weeds and trees shrubs stomach. Cottage deceased is heading the most horrific history, because once found a corpse hanging from a tree. The corpse was a Dutch nobleman who was killed by fighters at the time.
Not far from the deceased Pondok, Pondok Wind is also a past lodge or base camp hikers. This place provides spectacular views because it is situated on a hilltop, so we can see the mountain scenery around it. Situbondo Bondowoso and glitter of the city as well as a bolt of lightning when the city was overcast, a natural phenomenon that is extraordinary. However, the wind was blowing hard and like maraung wailing in the hearing. Because of this mountain called roar, wind noise roaring in the ears can sometimes threw us grounded a steep ravine.

Mahameru (Peak immortal gods)

Merbabu extraordinary

Merbabu located in Central Java with an altitude above sea level at the peak Kenteng 3.142M Songo. Merbabu derived from the word "Meru" meaning mountain and "maid" which means woman. The mountain is known as the mountain to sleep even though it actually has 5 pieces of the crater: Condrodimuko craters, craters Kombang, Kendang, fiddle, and the crater Sambernyowo.

There are 2 pieces of the peak Sharif peak (3119m) and Songo Kenteng peak (3142m). Gn.Merbabu peak can be reached from Cunthel, Thekelan, (Kopeng / Salatiga) Wekas ​​(Kaponan / Magelang) or from the cello (Boyolali). The trip will be very interesting when you depart from the North line (Wekas​​, Cunthel, Thekelan) fall back via the south (Selo).

Beautiful views can be seen along the journey. There are many mountains around the mountain Merbabu, including Mt. Merapi, Gn.Telomoyo, Gn.Ungaran. Merbabu form the row lines to the north of the volcano Merapi - Merbabu - Telomoyo - Ungaran.

LANE WEKAS

  To go to the village we had to take a car Wekas ​​Programs Kopeng - Magelang down in Kaponan, which is about 9 km from Kopeng, precisely at the front gate Wekas ​​Village. From Kaponan climbers walking past the rocky road so far about 3 Km to the post Ascent.

The line was very popular among the teens and Nature Lovers Magelang city, because it is closer and there are many sources of water, so many teens who like camping in Post II, especially on holidays. Wekas ​​is the last village to the summit which takes approximately 6-7 hours. Wekas ​​pathway is a short track so there is rarely a flat trajectory stretches. Panorama of the post I just wide with the underlying rocks. Throughout the trip will see the typical highland farm residents who planted Onions, Cabbage, Carrots, and tobacco, livestock can also be found rabbit droppings used as fertilizer. Routes to the post I just uphill and takes about 2 hours.

Heading I is a plateau with a hall as a resort. Around this area there are still many shops and houses. After the post I, there was still a resident through the fields, then entered the pine forest. Travel time to the post II is 2 hours, the path continues to climb steeply.

Pos II is a place that is open and flat, usually up to several dozens of tents set up. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays Post II is widely used by teens to camp. So that in those days a lot of people who trade food. In this area there are water sources in the channel through the pipes of which are accommodated in a tub.

From the Post II contained a dead end path that led to a river which is used as a source of water for the people around Wekas ​​to the surrounding villages. This path follows the flow of water pipes along the edge of the abyss that leads to the river below the crater. There are two streams that make up a very steep waterfalls, terraced levels, so it becomes an incredibly remarkable against the background of a collection of top - top of Mt. Merbabu

After heading II pathways begin to open up to meet the crossroads Kopeng which is above the heading V (Watu Write), Kopeng pathway. From this intersection to the post Croquet requires only 15 minutes travel time.

The atmosphere and scenery around the Post Croquet is really quite remarkable. On the right lies Mt. Steamer which at its peak white as sulfur which has dried vomit. In front of the crater lay eyes whitish. On the right near the crater there is a spring, hikers should be able to distinguish between drinking water and sulfur.

The journey continues by passing through a very steep hill and ravine on the left and right. Satan is called the Bridge climb.

Then we will arrive at the intersection, go left to the summit of Sharif (Mount Prengodalem) and to the right toward the top Kenteng Songo (Songo Kenteng Mountain) are elongated.

From the top we could look at Songo Kenteng Gn.Merapi with the smoldering peak all the time, seemed very close. Westward look Gn.Sumbing and Sundoro which look very clear and beautiful, as if challenging for the climb. Closer look Gn.Telomoyo and Gn.Ungaran. From a distance toward the east was Gn.Lawu with an elongated peak.
