Ascent path
Skrekanek team of five people ( Steve , Sigit , Bowo , Day , Bayu ) mid- March 2005 to climb Mount Merbabu through Wekas Strip . To go to the village we had to take the car Wekas Department Kopeng - Magelang down in Kaponan , which is about 9 km from Kopeng , precisely in front of the village gate Wekas . From Kaponan climbers to walk through the cobbled streets of the extent of about 3 km to the post Ascent .
The line was very popular among the Youth and Nature Lovers Magelang city , because it is closer and there are many sources of water , so many teenagers who like camping at Pos II , especially in the holidays . Wekas is the last village to the summit which takes approximately 6-7 hours . Path wekas a short track so there is rarely stretched flat trajectory . I post quite wide trails with underlying rocks . Along the way will meet the typical farm population plateau planted with Onions , Cabbage , Carrots , and tobacco , livestock can also be found rabbit droppings are used as fertilizer . Routes to the post I quite uphill and takes about 2 hours .
Post I was a plateau with a hall as a resting place . Around this area there are still many stalls and houses . After I post , traveling still passed the fields of population , then enter pine forest . Travel time to post the second is 2 hours , the track continues to climb steep .
Post II is a place that is open and flat , the usual set up some dozens of tents . On Saturdays , Sundays and holidays Post II is widely used by teens to camp . So in these days many people who trade the food . In this area there is a water source that is channeled through large pipes are accommodated in a bathtub .
From the Post II there is a path that leads to a dead end river as source of water for surrounding communities Wekas to the surrounding villages . This path follows the flow of water along the banks of the ravine pipe that leads into the river below the crater . There are two streams that make up a very steep waterfall stratified , so that it becomes an incredible view of the background set the peak - the summit of Mt . Merbabu .
After heading the second track begins to open up to meet with the Kopeng line crossing above the post V ( Watu Write ) , Kopeng path . From this junction heading towards the helipad only takes 15 minutes travel time . The journey continues with a very steep incline passing along the ravine on the left and right . Satan is called Bridge ramp . Then we will arrive at the intersection , go left to the summit Sharif ( Mount Pregodalem ) and go right to the top of Kenteng Songo ( Songo Kenteng Mountains ) are elongated .
In Selo, there are some inns.
1. From Pasar (Market) of Selo, walk to the village bordering with the forest. There is modest bathroom, mosque and a warung (small shop). In the Javanese month of Sapar, there is a ritual ceremony, the villagers give a traditional offering in the spring, as it provided a good life to them.
2. Climbing from this side, the climbers can always see the beautiful view of Mt. Merapi and Mt. Lawu on their back.
From shelter I-Balong, shelter II-Pentur and shelter III. The climbers can walk leisurely under the shadow of big forest trees. The name of Balong according to local legend, is to remember Eyang (grand-pa) Citranala conquered a tiger. In that fight, his cloth was holed by the tigers’ bite (cloth=gombal; hole= bolong; gombal bolong, the abbreviation is Balong)
From shelter IV up to summit, there are savannah and some flowers like a special kind of Edelweiss, named The Snowy Edelweiss. The most Tiring trek is the climbing to this shelter.
The shelter V is the peak of Kentong Songo. The climbing from the south route takes around 6 hours time.
It is advised to the mountaineers, the best way is to climb Mt. Merbabu from the North, Tekelan village and descend in Selo. Afterwards, depends to availability of time and energy, climb over Mount Merapi.
