Srigethuk When I visited last weekend, my first impression is a similarity with the Green Canyon in West Java. But, of course, each location has its own uniqueness.
In essence, the core attraction Srigethuk are three waterfalls that are in one location. The third waterfall is falling in the same rocks and flowing together Oya River. Each of these waterfalls is from three springs, the Dong Poh, Ngandong, and Bleberan. Besides the three major waterfalls, there are several small waterfalls - in the Java language called kriwikan - at that location.
This attraction is still fairly new so the infrastructure is still limited. However, do not worry, the basic facilities such as toilets and food stalls are available here. Until now, attractions Srigethuk still managed locally by the Village Bleberan.
Although the facilities are still limited, the manager has built up the stone steps from the parking lot to the bank, so that tourists do not have to worry when down the cliff. It took about 5-10 minutes to reach the mouth of the river. Arriving at Oya river, you will be pampered with a blend of greenish color of the river and surrounding vegetation. Palm trees towering in the wind.
From here you can not directly see the main waterfall, just a small waterfall in the distance. You have to ride the raft to reach the waterfall Srigethuk. Here you have to pay Rp 5,000 per head for commuting. There are two operating raft in the river, which in turn transports tourists.
It took about 10 minutes to reach the main waterfall. Actual distance is not too far away, but the raft went very slow. Of the raft you can capture the scenery is dominated by the majority of green color. The closer, Srigethuk waterfall (also known as Slempret) is the more remarkable. The third waterfall falls from a height of about 25 meters. The three joined together in the rocks beneath yellowish.
After the fall of your raft to cross the wet rocks to the waterfall approach. Feel the sensation of bathing under Srigethuk! Many tourists who take the time to bathe and swim in the river around the waterfall. Green water here is because of moss, not because of waste, so it is safe for bathing.
Some parts of the badlands Gunungkidul so that water comes from rivers and waterfalls Srigethuk Oya like an oasis in this Bleberan village. Water used for irrigation of agricultural areas the local population. Common vegetation in the area are corn, teak, and eucalyptus.
When you are satisfied to play in the waterfall, you can ride the raft to come back. If the stomach is wrapped around, there are several food stalls around the stairs leading to the parking lot. Try one of the typical menu Gunungkidul, namely tiwul. Tiwul is a food made from cassava. In general, sweet tiwul eaten for snacks.
However, in Gunungkidul as well as some of the surrounding area was used as a substitute tiwul rice is eaten with side dishes. Simply by Rp 4,000 you are guaranteed full meal tiwul penyet berlauk small tempe!
