Grojokan Sewu Waterfall

Grojokan Sewu Waterfall






Another Banyumas waterfall, another is Grojokan Sewu Waterfall, Tawamangu, why? Yes, even though both of them are waterfalls, they both have differences. The difference is not the location, height, or anything else that is of course different, but the myth.

If the Banyumas waterfall will quickly get a match if we go there, the Grojokan Sewu waterfall is exactly the opposite because if we go there with a girlfriend, then our girlfriend will leave forever aka breaking up in the middle of the road.

So this is not far from the location of the waterfall, there is a bridge that connects the right side and the left side of the Gerojogan Sewu waterfall tourist complex. The bridge separates the small river flow from the waterfall. And if visitors want to go to the other side, they have to pass this little bridge.
Well, the myth of the Gerojokan Sewu Waterfall is "if a couple comes to this place to date and then cross the bridge, then the relationship will not be long or it will probably break up and will not arrive at the altar".

Actually this is just a myth, but it's up to you to believe it or not. This myth is already very well known in Java, for those who believe it might avoid making the Tawangmangu Waterfall in Karang Anyar, Solo, Central Java as a place for dating. But for those who do not believe in this myth, there are also many lovers who make this place a place to establish love for them.



Yup, that's the Grojokan Sewu in Tawangmangu, which is a small town located below the slopes of Mount Lawu. The exoticness of the waterfall turns out to have a myth that is a little "terrible" for us who have a partner. But apart from that, this Tawamanggu is a mainstay of the Karanganyar district of Central Java as one of the most visited tourist destinations by both domestic and foreign tourists

Tawangmangu, with Grojokan Sewunya is known as a tourist attraction in the mountains on the western slope of Mount Lawu which can be reached by land vehicle for about one hour from the City of Surakarta (Solo). This place has been known as a tourist place from the Dutch colonial period.


The question of the origin of the name Grojokan Sewu Waterfall itself is taken from the Javanese word "Gerojokan" meaning it is a waterfall or water fall if in English. While the word "Sewu" means a thousand. But literally, the Gerojokan Sewu here does not mean there are a thousand waterfalls.

With the height of the Grojokan Sew Waterfall which is estimated to be around 80 m high, it is the highest waterfall in Central Java. As for achieving it, we have to go down about 1000 steps. In this resort there are various tourist support facilities such as swimming pools and various forms of lodging.
