Hello steemian friend On this occasion I will try tell my travel experience hiking and climbing along the edelweis mengeksplorisasi National Park mount merbabu in Central Java
This was my first experience to Yogyakarta in 2017 and I get the chance to climb one of the legendary mountain in Central Java. Merapi and Merbabu. The mountain side by side but still accentuating the characteristic terendiri. Merapi with sandy, arid terrain, and the specificity of a unique anggreknya. Merbabu with pasture grasses, savanna, green weeds, forests, fields, edelweis, cantigi and various kinds of other mountain vegetation.
We berangakat using motorcycles and upon arrival there two basecamp Merbabu already crowded climbers. Parking along the road leading to the gates of the ascent is full of motorcycles. Visible bustle of the busy climbers preparing to ascend the mountain, and there are serious about cleaning the body from the dust that clings to the body disekujur climbing post. We drop in on basecamp mingle with those who had first arrived in basecamp and especially to do the registration, fill the stomach, and the other technical preparation.
Twilight has broke. The afternoon is already too apparently. We are preparing for the climb. The prayer was spoken so as always welcome to destination. Welcome to Mountaineer gate Merbabu seems to give its own spirit for us climbers who want to put a sweet trail at Mount Merbabu that is famous for the beauty of the edelweis and sabananya fields. The road ramps between the Evergreen forest. Mahogany forests. Green grass. Prove the atmosphere of this area. The typical vegetation of the mountain is already more or less is found at the beginning of the journey. Biodiversity of living things amaze anyone watching him closely. Melipir on the hillside with vegetation. Left right-Cliff ravine. Remind us to always be careful.
The beginning of the ascent, climbers will be greeted welcome Arch of Merbabu Mountain National Park. Enter the door left right Street atmosphere of forests filled with pine trees and Leucaena leucocephala, during the haripun will feel cool. The streets are still quite ramps up to 15 minutes. After running 1-1.5 hours came in the mail 1. The post is still in the lush trees.
off the post 1, the track has not been one feels pretty steep climbs, there is one that is quite steep and at its peak was the post of shadow. Recently after walking 20 minutes from heading to the climber's shadow heading 2 the distance from the post 1-2 is arguably long.
Furthermore, the distance between posts 2 and 3 is not far away. The approximately 45-minute, climbers will arrive in the mail 3 views here are quite beautiful with merapi is quite clear if it is not foggy. Coupled with the lush trees edelweis. We recommend that you break a little longer in post 3.
Heading 4 (Savanna 1) climbers will be faced with a track that made quite a breath of choked up. A steep track with soil that is easy to create a slip. Select the road slightly to the left to the left because it can get a grip.
Savanna 1 this is one of the interesting places for camping, place a flat and the beautiful scenery may be the reason the climbers choose to set up their tents here. But the wind at this place is pretty toned, moreover very prone to storms.
From savanna to savanna 1 2 (heading 5) is not required for a long time. About 40 minutes away. The tracks form a slightly steep incline though not seterjal between the post 3-4 post but the wind is pretty fast when a night at this place. After reaching the top of the hill we were going to run downhill and came in the mail 5 (savanna 2).
Savanna I have charm. The edelweiss flowers along the way have become friends, look more beautiful in this place. Same as postal III towards Savanna I, tracks traversed steep and uphill. Other climbers give the spirit of Savanna II lived a few steps more. Sure enough, after meeting gently sloping a little path, we arrive at the savanna II elevations of 2,858 mdpl.
Perennial flower Edelweiss accompany all climbing
The journey continues to the top of Stone Mortar. Continue to step up to the top of Stone Mortar, we had come across a forest bloomed edelweiss. Perennial flowers are a magnet for climbers continue to return to mount Merbabu.
The streets leading to the savanna one not too steep, but the winding, climbing and downhill, the scenery is very luxurious, as long as the eyes see, the green grass graced the hills coated with the cool air of the mountains. Walking about 30 minutes, you will arrive at the savanna ll.

Most of the climbers, embark on a journey of Savanna atack l summit, around the clock 03:00 they've rushed to Kenteng Songo, hunt down the luxury sunrise on the highest peak of Mount Merbabu.
Kenteng Songo Summit toward the street quite ramps, but a very open vegetation made the wind freely slapped our bodies, making the air feel cooler. The journey to the peak of Kenteng Songo takes about 2 hours
