Mount Sindoro 3153 masl, Kledung Wononsobo Central Java
January 30th, 2010
Sindoro Mountain has a height of 3153 masl (meters above sea level) mountain is often a destination for Nature Lovers, mainly to make expedition Triple S (Slamet, Cleft, Sindoro). Steep terrain, hot sun and lack of water resources becomes a major challenge in climbing. Often climbers can not continue to climb due to run out of drinking water. We recommend this Mount Pendikian done in the rainy season, like November, December and January
The atmosphere of Shadow Mountain Peak Sindoro
Place of registration in basecamp Kledung who also became the headquarters benama Grasindo Rescue Team provides a place to stay,, bathroom, selling t-shirts, stickers, key chains, food and beverages. Climbers can order food wrap as stock in the trip, because cooking and camping in the mountains will require a supply of water.
Climbing to the mountain Sindoro should be done at night due to menghindarai heat and dust, and to conserve drinking water. The journey begins from the base camp through the township residents. Further up the rocky road so far about 2 km across the garden population is dominated by corn plants. Track beginning and then slightly uphill ramps when entering the pine forest towards the Heading 1 Sibajing, with an altitude of 1900 masl.
Heading 1 From this we turn right, do not take a straight path because of deadlock. We have to climb up and down the 2 pieces of the mountain ridge. Line shift to another ridge across three wooden bridges. Lamtoro and pine trees are quite dense along the lines simply create a cool atmosphere. Pos II is at a height of 2120 masl.
Towards Postal III began a steep and rocky terrain, there is a huge rock in the middle of the path. Climbers can rest on the rock while enjoying the natural scenery. Dusty dirt road mixed with gravel is often difficult ascent. Medan started to open again so that in the daytime will feel the heat. Mount cleft has begun to appear, very high and large that can be entertainment during the exhausting climb.
Postal III Seroto located at an altitude of 2530 meters above sea level, its location is open and spacious enough to set up dozens of tents. From here we will witness the beautiful views towards the mountain Cleft. Views of steep mountain slopes and peaks Sindoro shadows that appear in front of the eyes is very beautiful to be enjoyed.
Postal III of ascent followed by a steep cobbled street crossing coupled with gravel and dust. Although the terrain is very serious because the area is somewhat shady lamtoro overgrown by trees and plant shrubs. Line re-opened across the field there is lots of big stones. After reaching the peak of the first image, climbers have to deal with the next peak of the visible image is very high and steep.
Towards the top of the image into two steep, rocky terrain was very tiring, especially if done during the day climbing will feel very hot and we will often thirst. Luckily we passed fields overgrown by trees lamtoro in a rather close distance so that it can be used for shelter. The next path through rocky terrain with edelweiss plants. Arriving at the peak of the second image after passing through the woods edelweiss, terrain re-opened and must cross the boulders. Peaks actually still not visible as it is covered by trees views edelweiss.
Path to the top end of this terrain is very heavy, in addition to steep and open, the sun's heat are felt stung, fatigue and thirst accompany the climbers. Large stones into stepping along the trajectory. In the afternoon the sand and stone feels very hot to the touch, especially the black stone when held feels very hot. Not surprisingly, in the mountains this Sindoro frequent fires. Toward the top of the tree grow edelweiss much so that it can be a shelter from the blazing sun.
Sindoro mountain peak is not too wide but a circle around the crater. There are many large boulders and overgrown plants edelweiss. From the top of the mountain views to the south Sindoro looks very beautiful mountain Cleft. Slightly to the east seems Merbabu and Mount Merapi volcano is shrouded in clouds.
Sindoro crater large enough, the climbers can go down to the bottom of the crater. In the rainy season this crater will be filled by water, forming crater lakes, so that climbers can take a shower and clean water from the crater lake. In the dry season crater Sindoro still leaves puddles of water which is mixed with sulfuric acid, so it felt when drunk.

Mount Ceremai (Indonesia)
Mount Ceremai (often mistakenly called "Ciremai") is administratively included in the three districts, namely Kabupaten Cirebon, Kuningan and Majalengka Regency, West Java Province. The geographical position of the peak is located at 6 ° 53 '30 "latitude and 108 ° 24' 00" east, with an altitude of 3078 m above sea level. This mountain is the highest mountain in West Java.
This mountain has a double crater. Western crater radius is truncated by a crater 400 m east of radius 600 m. At an altitude of about 2900 m asl on the southern slope there are ex-point eruption Gowa called Swallow.Now G. Ceremai included in the National Park area of Mount Ciremai (TNGC), which has a total area of approximately 15,000 hectares.
The name is derived from the word mountain cereme (Phyllanthus acidus, a type of plant small shrubs with rada sour fruit), but it is often called Ciremai, a symptom hiperkorek due to the many place names in the region Pasundan that use the prefix 'ci-' for the naming of places.
Volcanology and geology
Mount Ceremai including Quaternary active volcano, type A (ie, magmatic volcanoes is still active since 1600), and shaped strato. This mountain is a volcano solitary, separated by a Fault Zone Cilacap - Brass from the group of West Java volcanoes east (ie row Galunggung Mountain, Thunder Mountain, the volcano, Mount Patuha to Mount Tangkuban Boat) located in Bandung Zone.
Ceremai is the third generation volcano. The first generation is a Pleistocene volcano located next to G. Ceremai, as an advanced Plio-Pleistocene vulkanisma above Tertiary rocks. Vulkanisma second generation is Mount Gegerhalang, which before the collapse to form Gegerhalang Caldera. And vulkanisma third generation in Holocene time form of G. Ceremai that grows on the north side Gegerhalang Caldera, which is estimated to occur in about 7,000 years ago (Situmorang 1991).
Eruption G. Ceremai recorded since 1698 and the last time occurred in 1937 with the shortest rest interval of 3 years and the longest 112 years. Three eruptions in 1772, 1775 and 1805 occurred in the central crater, but did not cause significant damage. The eruption of sulfur steam and copy the new fumarola at the center of the crater wall occurred in 1917 and 1924. On June 24, 1937 - January 7, 1938 freatik eruption in the central crater and radial cracks. Distribution of ash reached an area of 52.500 square km (Kusumadinata, 1971). In 1947, 1955 and 1973 tectonic earthquake that struck the southwestern G. Ciremai, presumably related to the fault structure trending southeast - northwest. Genesis quake damaged several buildings in the area west of Maja and Talaga G. Ceremai occurred in 1990 and 2001. Tremors felt in the east to the Village Cilimus G. Ceremai.
Route
Ceremai mountain peak can be achieved through the many hiking paths. However, the popular and easily accessible is through the Village and Village Palutungan Linggarjati in the district. Brass, and Apuy Villages in the district. Majalengka. Another less used route is via village on the border Padabeunghar Brass with Majalengka in the north. In the city there are groups of nature lovers Brass "Roots (Children Activity Woods)" which can help provide information and guidance about the ascent of Mount Ceremai.
Biodiversity
Vegetation
The forests are still experienced at Mount Ceremai stay longer at the top. On the bottom, especially in areas which in the past managed as production forests Perhutanioffice, these forests have been converted to pine forest (Pinus), or shrubs, which are formed due to repeated fires and grazing. Now, most of the forests under the height ... m above sea level. managed in the form of agro-forestry (agroforests) by the local community.
As usual in the mountains of Java, the more a person climbing to the top of Mount Ciremai was found in a row mountain forest types under (submontane forest), upper montane forests (montane forest) and forest subalpin (subalpine forest), and then region- not open wooded area around the summit and crater.
Furthermore, based on micro-climatic conditions, LIPI (2001) distinguish Ciremai environment on the plateau of wet and dry highlands. For example, land in the Resort Cigugur (Palutungan point, the southern mountains) including micro-wet climates, and at the Resort Setianegara (lane north Linggarjati) micro-dry climates.
In general, Palutungan hiking paths (in the south of Mount Ciremai), Apuy (west), and Linggadjati (east) in succession from bottom to top going through the settlement lands, fields and gardens of the population, mixed pine forest plantations with field plots in forest areas (intercropping), and the last mountain rain forest. While in line Padabeunghar (north) of vegetation were combined with shrubs that are associated with desert weeds. In the fourth route, the rain forest mountains can be divided again into three types namely lower montane forests, upper montane forests and vegetation subalpin around the crater. Except subalpin vegetation that is alleged to have disturbed by fire, mountain rain forests are still relatively intact condition, green, and appeared quite clear canopy stratification.
The diversity of wildlife in Ceremai quite high. The research group of nature lovers Lawalata IPB in April 2005 to get 12 species of amphibians (frogs and toads), various types of reptiles such as chameleons, geckos, lizards and snakes, more than 95 species of birds, and more than 20 species of mammals.
