MT. MERBABU 3.145 M
OVERVIEW
Mount Merbabu is a dormant stratovolcano in Central Java Province. Merbabu means 'Mountain of Ash' in Javanese.
​
Mount Merapi was directly adjacent on its south-east side, while the city of Salatiga is located on its northern foothills. A 1,500m high broad saddle lies between Merbabu and Merapi, the site of the village of Selo, Java and highly fertile farming land.
​
There are two peaks; Syarif (3,119 m) and Kenteng Songo (3,145 m). Three U-shaped radial valleys extend from the Kenteng Songo summit in northwesterly, northeastly and southeastly directions.
​
Merbabu can be climbed from several routes originating from the town of Kopeng on the north east sideside, and also from Selo on the southern side.
