theo1006 Says: Tlogo Plantation Resort has acquired another attraction. That is to say, the attraction has alway been there, i.e. a hill with magificent view of five mountains in the neighbourhood. But now they have built a pavilion and restaurant on the top.Whether you stay in the resort...
Scenic drive around Merbabu mountain
theo1006 Says: This favourite road tour leads around Merbabu mountain, with close views of Merapi volcano. We made the tour several times, both before and after the October-November 2010 eruptions. The tour can be made by car or by motorcycle, clockwise or anti-clockwise. Best start by...
UKSW Department of Performing Arts
theo1006 Says: When you happen to be in the neighbourhood it may be worthwhile to inquire about a performance by students of the Department of Performing arts of Salatiga's Satya Wacana University.There are about ten musical performances a year on the campus and they are all free! They...
theo1006 Says: What about learning to ride a horse during your Java travels? Or, if you have already some experience riding, you can make a tour on horseback in the environment of Salatiga. We met the owners of 'Havana Horses' by coincidence. They happened to be on the same flight as us...
Scenic drive around Telomoyo Mountain.
theo1006 Says: Telomoyo Mountain is our favourite mountain near Salatiga. With 1894 m it is not as high as better-known Merbabu (3142 m), but with its lush vegetation, steep ridges and deep ravines, streams which do not run dry, it is more interesting to go on discovery walks. And if you...
To the Summit of Mount Telomoyo
theo1006 Says: If a 6 to 8 hours hike to the top of Merbabu mountain is not your idea of fun, what about Telomoyo mountain? In the seventies a telecommunication relay station was built on the top of this 1894 m mountain, and to reach it a 7 km road was carved in its side all to the top. So...
Jelok, hydropower for Salatiga
theo1006 Says: The Dutch built Jelok power station in 1912, and it has long been the main provider of electrical power for Salatiga. Of course nowadays it is connected into a larger grid.Jelok gets its water from Tuntang river, which flows out of Rawa Pening lake, which in turn receives...

LOTUS Coffee and Resto: Nice food and ambiance
theo1006 Says: New restaurants appear like mushrooms in Salatiga, Most are mediocre and cater for a student's purse.Lotus Coffee and Resto newly opened on the road to Kopeng is different. The menu is varied and complete, the card for drinks is as long as the one for food. One can sit in...
Bakmi Progo: Best value for little money
theo1006 Says: If you are on a budget or just want to try street-side food, go to Bakmi Progo. Here you can still eat your fill starting from one US dollar, and the taste is surprisingly good. Unlike many places where the prices are small, the portions are quite generous.It's a family run...
M J Food Center: Cheap Dining Out
theo1006 Says: Another restaurant popular for a family dine-out. Also on our list when we don't want to do cooking at home. Koloke (chicken meat in sweet-sour sauce) Rp 21,000. Sapi lada hitam (black pepper cow's meat) Rp 22,000. Gurame (fish) starting at Rp 40,000.
theo1006 Says: Taxi or rental car may be the most comfy way to get to and from Salatiga, but it is also the most expensive way. There is ample choice of cheaper public transport:(1) Economy bus; very cheap, but not recommended because slow (stops everywhere), dirty, crowded and no AC.(2)...
theo1006 Says: There is no train station in Salatiga. Like if you come by air, you have to take a train from Jakarta to Semarang or Solo and there get a taxi or bus for the 1 to 1.5 hour drive to Salatiga.The train schedules you can find at: http://kereta-api.co.id/. Unfortunately in...
theo1006 Says: The easiest way to get to Salatiga is by air via Semarang, Solo or Yogyakarta.At the airports you can get a taxi at the counter for a fixed price. The taxi ride from Semarang takes about one our and costs Rp 185,000 (August 2009). The ride from Solo takes slightly longer and...
nameless roadside stalls: Toys and household items
theo1006 Says: They are lining the road in a long row on both sides, perhaps half a km long. Nameless stalls with much the same merchandise in all of them: toys, in particular wooden truck models; aluminium pots and pans, in particular the Chinese wok type; vases, kitchenware of wood and...
theo1006 Says: Actually there are two neighbouring shops, specialising in artistic handicraft made of rattan and other natural materials. One of them bears a sign "Koen Saleri", the other has no name.Here you can find lampshades, chairs, baskets and all kinds of accessories for in your...
theo1006 Says: Having a wild animal in your front yard enhances your status. (See The regent's tiger!) In a village it may be a monkey (a beruk or a lutung). The juveniles are caught by killing the mother, no wonder not many remain in the wild on Java.This example is a beruk or Javanese...
theo1006 Says: In the countryside people will try to put you at ease: Disini aman, bu (It's safe here, ma'am). And indeed, Indonesia is generally very safe. In the cities this may be due to the safety wardens you find everywhere: in shopping malls, at banks, parkings and restaurants, as...
theo1006 Says: If you have been to Australia and bought yourself a souvenir boomerang, chances are that it was made in a small village near Salatiga.On one of our weekly walks we parked at a space in front of an unmarked shed, and this turned out to be the production site of Handicrafts...
theo1006 Says: We had not expected to find them on Java, but we stumbled upon them on one of our walks: hydraulic ram pumps. It is a technique for raising water without a power source. The trick is to use the kinetic energy of water running downhill to raise part of the water above its...
Klero temple and Ketanggi river
theo1006 Says: Another small temple, just near Salatiga. It does not look impressive, but intriguing: an enormous base compared to the temple body itself. On the base one finds foundation stones with holes in it, which must have supported wooden poles. Usually these held up a roof, but can...
