Merbabu including the type Stratovolcano. Merbabu very unique position because it is a row of mountains to the north along the mountain merapi, mountain telomoyo, gajahmungkur mountain, mountain andong and mountain Ungaran.

Ascent Line:
There are quite a lot of lines that can be used to climb to the top of Merbabu. The main point is the point in the district Kopeng Takelan Salatiga is located on the northwest side. Another route is frequently used Selo Line on the south side that came in Boyolali District. There was also another point that can and quite often in use as Wekas Line on the west side (Magelang), Candisari point on the east side (Ampel, Boyolali).
- Line Selo (Boyolali)
In Dusun Genting we can borrow the home residents as Basecamp. We'd better bring plenty of water supplies taken from wells with citizens. Because as long as there is no water sources. In addition there is no water source, a route Selo dirt path.So if we climb during the rainy season, the terrain is slippery. Was when hiking in the dry season, the terrain becomes very dusty.
After the first restribusi pay at the gate, soon we will enter the forest area is lush and this will continue until we meet almost Pos III.
From the gate to the post I need a travel time for about 1 hour with the path that is sloping in the woods. I was heading in the right side of the land route is roomy enough for a 3 tent set up .Indeed there are no buildings here.
From the Post I to Post II can be taken for approximately 1.5 hours.Impassable terrain is quite flat. However, after reaching half way, the field will start a little uphill. Post II was in a small hill or mound of earth better and a little open place. Just below before post II we will hit a steep height approximately 3 m with a slope of 70 degrees. so climbers need to be careful because it is very slippery. In the post II there is also no buildings, there are only bushes and tall grass that can be used to shelter from the wind.
Towards Post III, the Post II takes approximately 1.5 hours. Start here climbers should be more careful. Because we will walk right on the right and left point of a chasm deep enough. Indeed the gap is not so visible, because covered by bushes and trees. When we see land as such, but when the tread will down. So it's best if the rest of the way to the Post III, we chose to sit on this path. On both sides of the path can be found also some fairly terrain accommodate 1 tent for a rest. But again be careful.
So will achieve Postal III, we will come out of the thick woods into the clearing with grass vegetation that is high enough. Means we have reached the Sabana I. Post III will look after us through the weeds of rimbunnya boulder with a diameter of about 2 m, called slate. Sabana I often used the flag ceremony on August 17. And unique, the flag ceremony is almost always led by Mr. Head Selo.
From slate to post IV going through the savanna to the track began to climb. From here we'll see how Mount Merapi in the south. His features like a giant coming out from behind the savanna.After walking about 1 hour we will get to Sabana II. Savanna II of clearing a large area with several sets Edelwis trees. From here the highest peak of Mount Merbabu (Kenteng Songo) was seen. But many climbers who will sighed once looked toward the top. Because the route also appeared to peak so steep and remote. Post IV heading there on the right side route just a sign of a rock 40 cm in diameter at the steep slopes.
To the top, from the Post IV takes about 1-1.5 hours. Once past the post IV, climbers will meet a valley lined by a large grass rumbut-circle. Grass circles had seemed so unique. After that we'll meet a derivative, where the right under the derivative is a collection of trees that have Edelwis average height of 2 m. We'll walk right under it Edelwis tree. In addition, there are also suitable as a place to set up a tent or to shelter from the wind.
Edelwis tree from a collection of earlier, to the top of our lives through a high hill and steep enough to be straight will lead us to the summit Kenteng Songo. It took 0.5 hours to pass.Because the terrain is fairly steep slope of 60 degrees. Usually the climbers implement ways 10:1. The point is to walk as many as 10 steps and then stopped for 0,5-1 minutes to take a breather. Songo Kenteng peak is the highest peak of Mount Merbabu who has the 3 top.
Merbabu peak area of flat land approximately 100 m2. There is no high monument as a marker peak, there is only a small monument.
Songo Kenteng. Kenteng consists of the word which means stone with a hole and Songo means nine. so Kenteng Songo means nine stone with a hole. Stone was spread evenly on top of Merbabu. Five of the Bubrah Market on the top of the hill Kenteng Songo, and four more in Kenteng Songo.
The view from here is amazing, in the north we could see Mount Ungaran, Mount Andong, Mount Kukusan and Rawa Pening.
There were a hill on the northeast side of the peak Sharif and the route of the Takelan.
On the western side of Mount Sindoro look-cleft and Mount Slamet. east was the peak of Mount Lawu. And the lovely Mount Merapi on the south side.
