Baturraden trekking
Baturraden, a classical highland country in the foot of Mount Slamet, located about 15 kilometers north of Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia, has remarkable weather with a cool mountain breeze and the temperature ranges from 18C to 25C.
The resort itself was established in 1979, and is surrounded by beautiful green gardens, hot springs, ponds and bungalow-style hotels 650 metres up the slopes. As we indulge ourselves with the harmonic surroundings of a vast pine forest and green valley, we can also dip our feet in the cold spring water running through the middle of the resort.
Baturraden is also a well-known spot to spend a day trekking through its splendid natural forest and villages. Always green, blanketed with a light misty air, the area is blessed with an abundance of natural water resources spouting in numerous waterfalls and rivers, which flow between the huge boulders of hardened lava.
The huge boulders also points out to ravines and river bank and form some kind of path, apparently having rolled down from Mount Slamet during a eruption many centuries ago.
Baturaden is renowned for local tourism; with attraction of hot spring, trekking and camping.
The main attraction for tourist is the Loka Wisata Baturaden, a recreational ark with a swimming pool, water slide, lake, children's play ground with an Old Dutch Merry-go-round, hot water mineral spring and botanical gardens.
