It is true that Luba

It is true that Lubang Sewu is considered a new vacation destination in Wonosobo. It even has an excellent popularity among tourists. The problem is visitors must come to the site at the right time. It is because the local lake may flood the site, especially during heavy rain. The best time to visit the site is during summer, when the rainfall is low. Also, lots of visitors come to the site during holidays. That means it can be quite uncomfortable for some people, as they don’t have the chance to find the good spot for photography. The right time to come to Lubang Sewu is between August and September when the weather is nice with less rain. Aside from photography, you can do many things there. These include an exploration, getting around the site and the nearby lake. For those who want to fish, they must carry a fishing rod and other necessary equipment. The fun thing is that the site resides next to Wadas Lake, which is the most famous tourist spot in Wadaslintang Village. That means yoy can enjoy two attractive vacation destinations in one go! #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Merawu Falls is a recommended nature attraction for those coming to Wonosobo City and Dieng Plateau. With a strategic location and beautiful landscape, Giri Tirto Village should be proud of its waterfalls. Even many kinds of tourist activities can be done there, including relaxation, taking a bath, and photography. For those coming for bathing, however, they must find the right spot to get in the water. The reason is most of the part of the pond contains sulfur, which causes discomfort to the body. The best idea is to come with a local guide, someone who knows the site well. Apart from taking a bath in Merawu Waterfall, you can do other activities as well. Those who love photography can explore several parts of the site and take good pictures of them. The best object is definitely the tallest falls that reside a bit further than the first one. It requires some trekking, but it won’t be a wasteful effort for sure. Once you reach the location, you would be amazed by those two majestic falls. The water is not quite hot because it has been mixed with the fresh water coming from the Merawu Waterfall. One thing, everyone should take care of the environment well. Those who carry foods or drinks are allowed to enjoy them, as long as they take care of the trash later. No one is allowed to spoil the beauty of the site. #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
