MOUNT MERAPI, THE FIRE MOUNTAIN
The giant, smoking Mount Merapi is one of the many active volcanoes found in Indonesia, presented among its peaceful and sleepy dense forest. Beyond this, there lies
a vast desert land with a deep, steep valley spread out among the mountain hills.

From the observation post located on Plawangan hill (which can be reached through the forest resort of Kaliurang), you will see the incredible sights of molten rocks oozing over the rim, sometimes accompanied with hot lava pouring out regularly and leaving a long trail of smoke.

Mount Merapi is 2.920 m above sea level, with an average temperature of about 10 degreees Celcius and a difference in temperature between noon and night of 15 – 16 degrees Celcius.

At present this resort is Provided with an out standing and modern Golf Couse, which is set on 800 metres above sea level. This 18 holes, par 72 course is opened to the public and located only 30 minutes from the city of Yogyakarta.
