5 Things You Should Know about Punthuk Setumbu
by Rowena Suryobroto 09/07/2022

Want to enjoy a magical sunrise, but don’t want to go on a difficult and dangerous hike? There is a place called Puthuk Setumbu in Magelang. It is located not far from Magelang city, only about 40 minutes by car.

The road is also neat and smooth. But before going there, take a peek at what’s interesting about Punthuk Setumbu.

So Background in AADC 2 Movie
Who doesn’t know the romantic scene between Rangga and Cinta set in Punthuk Setumbu? Indeed, because of the movie, Punthuk Setumbu became known and enjoyed by many tourists.

Actually, this place has long existed before the movie. Kompas even published this spot as its front page in 2004.

Mr. Suparno, the Discoverer of the Spot
This spot was discovered by Mr. Suparno, or often called Pak Parno, a senior photographer. Mr. Parno is a well-known cultural heritage photographer with numerous studies throughout Indonesia. He has mainly photographed Borobudur and other temples since the mid-1970s.

One of the books that contains many of his portraits is "Borobudur, Majestic Mysterious Magnificent", published by PT (Persero) Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko (2011).
Now Mr. Parno manages Pak Parno’s fried rice and noodle restaurant on Jl. Bimo, Dusun XIII, Magelang. There are various menus here besides rice and fried noodles. There are rice and fried noodles, chicken rica-rica, and special orange ice. It’s also a great place to hang out.

Twenty Five Thousand and 300 Steps to Heaven
Before enjoying the magical sunrise, we participate by paying IDR 25,000 HTM for domestic tourists and IDR 50,000 for foreign tourists. After that, be prepared to climb 300 steps.

The stairs are good, covered with sturdy stones. The distance between the stairs is not too far. Don’t worry about getting hungry and thirsty while climbing the stairs. Many food and beverage vendors are ready to serve hot and cold snacks.

You can take photos with owls
There are people here who offer photos with owls. Tame of course. They can fly away and come back.

Oh yes, the photo doesn’t need to be at night, because the owls are used to waking up in the morning and sleeping at night. Don’t struggle either, there are 4 birds, you can take a family photo with 1 bird each.

See the Chicken Church from Above

Chicken or pigeon? No need to think about it. The original name is Bukit Rhema House of Prayer, which unfortunately had to be closed since 2000.

Viewed from above and surrounded by mountain scenery makes this building unique and interesting.

Swinging to the heavens
In this spot, you can also try the bottomless swing. It’s nerve-wracking but cool. The gentlemen who helped him were nice.

Oh yes, they are happy if you give them tips. You see, apart from helping you swing, they also become photographers so that you have the most beautiful memories there.

Now the last tip. Don’t get there too late. At least depart from Magelang at 4:00, so that you have time to breathe when you reach the courtyard, and still don’t miss the mystical feeling in Punthuk Setumbu.
