Even if you are not a professional hiker or climber, you should try the short hike towards Mount Merapi and find yourself amidst the leftovers of houses and such after the recent volcano eruption in 2010. You will find yourself humbled by the immensity of nature’s wrath and how people respond to it bravely. You may also try the sunrise hike up Mount Merapi for a different experience of this ruined volcanic mountain.
