Coban Talun Waterfall



Coban Talun can be one of the lead attractions at the City of Stone. Nature tourism, located in the Hamlet Junggo, Tulungrejo Village, District Bumiaji, this offers a natural beauty that is still natural. Tim Mlaku-Radar Malang Mlaku enjoy the atmosphere of the night until noon on the tour this natural waterfall.

Dark and deserted. Thus we feel the time set foot in the location of this tour in the night last week. There are no signs of life in nature tourism, which is managed Perum Perhutani it.

Voters who are only animals and sound vaguely gemericik water river not far from the tents that we dirikan. The atmosphere is quite serene covered the cold bone puncture. Suitable for berkontemplasi.

Warm talks with management about the nature nearly make us forget akan turnaround time. Suddenly lights genset only in some dim corner of a tent. Less with the gleam mentari.

We really can not stare directly mentari rising. For, a position that we tempati behind hills and trees rerimbunan forest. Mentari new can be witnessed at the height of 45 degrees. That is new can be seen from behind the branches of trees covered fog.

Mentari when it is started to show, signs of life around Coban Talun seen. Not only from the birds warble, but also a number of farmers who appear to pass through thatch rerimbunan forest. Some walk, and some other two-wheel drive a modified vehicle into the mountain.

We also have to realize the new stand in the forest area which is surrounded by hills. And, our journey that night feels different from the usual. Know, that night we accompanied Syamsul Huda, the Office of Tourism Culture and Tourism Pemkot Stone and Pungky Purnama, practitioners and consultants as well as tourism initiator Batu Tourism Board.

There are at Pelangi Semburannya

Waterfall Coban Talun beautiful views not only from a distance. But, while some also span from the location drop waterfalls with a height of around 75 meters. In addition to the sound of thundering water of the stone cadas below, can also feel the sensation of the water spout to jump sekujur body.

Located at a location quite far from each location with the fall of the water, actually we can still experience this sensation. The difference, the only roaring voice sounded a bit soft. In addition, bursts of sensation to enjoy the waterfall must be patient menuggu some time to have the wind blowing. Because the wind will carry grain-grain the water of the river to waterfalls surrounding the location of the berdiameter 15 meters.

Delight in the vicinity of the location of this waterfall klop increases. In addition diapit thundering waterfalls deburan with semburannya, also a lot of rainbow. Landscape rainbow colored Warni was not only found at one point. But, in almost every corner of the eye sight.

Beautiful natural dish also not less interesting when the distance falls. Glance, there are scenes "snake" super sized big stretch. Yes, that is the river water through the rocks along the river current.

In addition, if the record leaves the sun and the dew soft water, the rainbow can be seen. Beautiful.

Besides the beauty of the location of waterfalls coban talon actually have one other item that is not tourism less attractive. Dam water at this location tour also be eligible for a visit. If the atmosphere is being supported, visitors can travel between the dam. This moment can also be events that are difficult to be overlooked.

To reach this area is not easy. Besides prosecuted circumspection, as well as the extra labor required. Visitors day pass flow of the river, and must go through the harsh hills and curvaceous.

Pathways to the location is very narrow and slippery and very steep. Meanwhile, in the left-right paths throughout the 2 KM is surrounded with a cliff. Must hold a limb and weed merimbuni the street step. So not recommended for the children, parents and pregnant mothers.

Struggle no less challenging time to leave this location. Must-ngosan NGOs to reach the peak.

Travelers Jujugan, but Mangkrak

Management of tourism waterfalls Coban Talun not ubahnya tour Jonggring Saloko in the Village Mentaraman, District Donomulyo. The beauty of nature is left nelangsa without any treatment. In fact, it is not excessive if it is said as the tour to die.

Signs of life in the absence of natural attractions have been seen during this first set foot in the gate of this tour. Tourism memesona enough that there is no one penjaganya. Door counter, located on the left side of the visitor is closed. Which can be found just about people who passed through the thatch area this tour.

Row stalls that line not far from the door counter is also neglected. Some of them even look perforated. Start from the roof, wall to wall board made of wood or plywood.

So recommended for visitors to take stock before entering this area.

Conditions that have lasted long enough. Based on that placard tertempel glass door in the counter, the tour is closed on 2006. In the declaration, contained only a temporary closure. However, the fact is up to three years never reopened. In the declaration also contains the data trees in the area of tourism is vulnerable to collapse.

According to the description of a number of residents, the closing of the location of the subsequent tour events tumbangnya tree that killed a visitor a tour of the student. At that time, primary school student is out of the tent location. One of the trees in the area and replace the fallen tent.

To park a vehicle any difficulty. However, it can still be difficulties with disiasati out of the vehicle at locations around the tour. Road infrastructure is no less concern. Condition does not reflect the way that as the tourist attraction.

In fact, this tour lokais still often made attractions. Start the students, university students, to the lovers of nature. Visit a variety of purposes. Some simply see the waterfalls, some also stay in this area.

Some shops disulap already become a distribution outlet better known distro. Unlike the clothing stores in general, the appearance of fresh air distribution to provide for the weary fashionista with the model of mass production of clothing sold in department stores.

Distribution model that offers' exclusive 'because in the design of their own by the distro owners. Although not exclusive, very exclusive, one model does not produce clothes in the number of lots. The advantages that make the distribution continue to grow because so many young people sought to be different.

In 2007, the Jakarta Post's observations have around four distribution that appears. This year, increasing to 11 distribution. From dozens of distros that sell various products such as garment shirt, shorts, t-shirts and accessories.

"Since first until now, Malang area have not yet made a specific distribution center or sportainment. All spread out everywhere, so that the buyer or make a fuss out of town wisawatan. Akan better and we agree that this road Trunojoyo made such as the area in Bandung, "said Jhoni 'Otiwus' Suwito, owner of a distribution to the Malang Post.

According Jhoni, almost all of the owners in the area of distribution Trunojoyo from the Small Business Micro Menangah (MSMEs) with their own capital. However, many also rely on credit from a bank if you want to raise a business.

Some of the distribution in the toilet along Trunojoyo among others Alpina Bandung Store, Zalma Collections, De Jortic, Republic of Skarte, Indie Studios, Soccer, City of Arema, Gibol Sportainment, World Soccer, Ultras and Mega 'MS' Sport. Not only that, even on the south side of this street crowded start dijejali 'distros' ala measure because it only sells the product in small amount.

Metamorfisis Road Trunojoyo a distribution area also supported the existence of a strategic location. Suppose Road or Klojen Patimura Lor Straat, Suropati Road or Road to Idenburg Straat Kartanegara or Daendels Boulvard.

"Jujur course, if the road can be directed into the center Trunojoyo sportainment tour only. Yet here is a lot of pop or what is the distribution name. If you want to compare with the Bandung Cihampelas ya too far. But most do not need to have the area of Malang khuhus such Trunojoyo Road and I think most potential, "said Bayu one owner distributions.

He was aware, there are many tourists, or even Arek Malang mudik made quite a fuss when akan purchase by by-shirts or attribute of Malang.

Besides up and down, this road is not flat because that is damaged aspalnya mixed with limestone rock that comes from the fraction in the Karst mountain edge. Dust will be scattered when many vehicles melintasinya. Forest that is still wild and green surrounding hills may be a little tired because the herd is too long drive. At least, refreshing view of the dust-dust that fly.

Already lost to exhaustion when on the beach and see the blue sea water. At this time as we better be naked feet, walking on the white sand. Looking beach that is quiet, enticing for the plunge to make water. Moreover, see the coral stand firmly two not far from the beach, the desire to add menggapainya.

But with a simple tool Helps suit, we can enjoy the basic content of water. If lucky, we can see small fish, sea urchin, or sea beings other. But be careful, there is a coral in the bottom of the water can-can injure feet.

If you want to enjoy the waves that roll in and splash into the beach, while we can walk to the west. With a little struggle to climb the hill coral, we akan disuguhi beaches legih rumble. This beach truly stunning with white sand that is fine. A rock pile as provided by God as a place to sit for people to enjoy the scenery is extraordinary beautiful. Gust of wind came over the coming waves not only soothing sport, but also the hearts and minds that may dibayangi always exhausted. If it is so, better sand play or romp with the waves coming and going.

Ikan Bakar Kampong Fishermen

If you get tired enough to enjoy the beach, so-so while we drift fishermen in the village or small shop-around in the stalls. Higgler fish usually come to offer the visitor to the ear. If you do not want to prepare for burning your own, we can ask how to Bu Misti, one of the guards nearby stalls. He will be happy to prepare fish for our fuel.

Fish grilled side dish to be very fit for the plateful of rice plus sambal ketchup. Sense of fish that will soon be distinctly felt when we enjoy them even without the burnt flavor though.
