Located in the southern coastal karst hills range that extends from Gombong, Central Java; until the karst region Sewu Mountains, Pacitan, East Java; The vertical cave collapse doline type is formed by geological processes amblesnya land and vegetation on it to the bottom of the earth that happened thousands of years ago.

Adventure into the depths of the earth began to walk left basecamp to the lip of the cave that had been prepared as a path. There are several tracks in the Cave Jomblang with heights ranging from 40 to 80 meters. Since this is the first time I came down the vertical cave, the path chosen is the shortest path known as VIP lanes. The first 15 meters of the VIP terrace is a slope that can still be ditapaki by foot. After that proceed down the rope along approximately 20 meters to get to the bottom of the cave. The fear that had rested while floating in the air vanished so set foot back on the ground.
The scenery in sight invite admiration. If the above as far as the eye can see will only see karst hills and deciduous teak, then in the abdomen cave Jomblang are views very lush green forest. Various mosses, ferns, shrubs, large trees to grow with the meeting. Forest vegetation that much different from the above condition is often known by the name of an ancient forest. Since the collapse of the ground to the bottom, this vegetation to survive and proliferate until today.
Caving this time does not stop at Jomblang, but continues towards Luweng Grubung by entering an entrance (cave) which are very large. Jomblang & Grubug connected by a tunnel about 300 meters long. Various beautiful ornaments adorn this hall participated, such as rock crystal, stalactites and stalagmites. Shortly running the sound of thunder stream and bright beam of light in the darkness. I also accelerate the pace in order to see what lies ahead.
A masterpiece of the Creator which is remarkable seen before. Underground river that is still a system with Kalisuci rushing. Sunlight entering from Luweng Grubug as high as 90 meters form the pillar of light, illuminating the beautiful flowstone caves as well as the depth of the pitch. Water dripping from a height helped beautify the landscape. For a moment I was not able to speak, only a feeling of wonder and awe. Finally with their own eyes can see paintings of nature known as the light of heaven.
We booked this holiday via http://7.holiday/thing/jogyakarta-1-day . It was not that expensive compared to other things you can do around yogya, and it was a really nice experience. All the way down on a rope - so exciting! And the view at the end of the cave - just great! Worth trying!
