    Murhum Forest Park, Known As Taman Hutan Raya Murhum Kendari



    Murhum Forest Park is well-known as Taman Hutan Raya Murhum, located in Nipa-Nipa Highlands in Mandonga sub-district, Kendari and Soropia sub-district, Kendari district, Southeast Sulawesi, is one of 16 forest areas in Southeast Sulawesi used for natural conservation. This forest park has an area of 8,146 hectare at an elevation of 25 to 500 meters above the sea level. The topography is mostly sloping, hilly and mountainous with 15-40 slope degrees. The land is mostly made of yellow red podzolik soil.

After that don't forget to catch some history by visiting the bunker build by the Japanese army in the Second World War, with a cannon still on top of it.
