Recently restored in 2011, this temple is relatively new compared to the other temples. What's most striking about this temple is its similar shape to Prambanan: tall with a pyramid-like structure on top, but the upper part of the temple consists of stupas similar to those at Borobudur. It could be said that this temple is like a "marriage" between Prambanan and Borobudur. This temple is situated within a fairly extensive complex with beautiful, well-maintained gardens. It turns out that this complex was only inaugurated after being restored in December 2011 by the Minister of Education and Culture, Mohammad Nuh. Initially, this temple was only a half-finished structure that looked like a ...

History of Umbul Brintik Klaten


Like other springs in Klaten, Umbul Brintik is a natural bathing spot whose water comes from a mountain spring.

There are also numerous testimonials from visitors who have recovered after therapy at Umbul Brintik.

Umbul Ponggok, Klaten Artificial Snorkeling Feels Like the Beach

On
Ponggok Village, located in Klaten Regency, Indonesia , has a long history dating back over 100 years. In the 1920s, the village was known for its industrial activity, thanks to the presence of the Ponggok Sugar Factory. This factory, along with other sugar factories in the area, brought many Dutch families to live in Ponggok as employees. The village was administratively part of the Ponggok Kawedanan at that time. However, the economic and socio-political crises of the 1930s, as well as Indonesia's struggle for independence, led to the closure of the sugar factories, including the Ponggok Sugar Factory. Today, one of the remnants of this former industrial glory is Umbul Ponggok. Umbul Ponggok was originally a spring that was transformed into a water reservoir to supply the operational needs of the Ponggok Sugar Factory and the Karanganom Sugar Factory. It also served as irrigation for the nearby sugar cane plantations. Despite the closure of the factories, the Ponggok water reserv...
