Umbul Nilo in Margosuko Hamlet, Daleman Village, Tulung Subdistrict is one of the oldest of the many spring water tourism destinations in Klaten Regency. Traces of ancient civilization are still found in the tourist area today, what is it?
A Yoni stone with a width of about 80 centimeters was found once passing through the main entrance. The artifact of the Hindu-Buddhist period of the 8th-9th century AD made of andesite stone is still well preserved.
On the east side, precisely under the taproot of an old Randu Alas tree, a smaller Yoni was also found. Chunks of ancient bricks 8-10 centimeters thick are still scattered around.
Under the banyan, spreh, randu alas, mahogany and other old trees, the clear spring water will welcome you. Large andesite rocks can still be seen in the vicinity. There are four pools in the tourist area but the main umbul is an adult pool with a natural look. In addition, there are two artificial children's pools and one pool with modern architecture on the west side.
There is an old pond measuring about 50x20 meters on the east side. The pond under a grove of trees is pristine with a main spring and the bottom of the pond is sand and stone about 160 centimeters deep.
On the west and south sides of the main pond, there is one children's pond each. In the western corner of the children's pool, about 100 meters away, there is a new pool with a playground concept equipped with a skateboard, several gasebos and a meeting joglo.
The new pool is in the shape of an arch with varying depths without a partition so that it can be used for playing soccer. The clear water comes from the west side spring.
