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.

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.

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.

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.
