Gunungsewu Karst
The Gunungsewu Karst, stretching along Indonesia’s south coast in Central Java, is a geological marvel sculpted by millions of years of erosion on limestone. Its defining feature is a multitude of conical hills, a unique characteristic known as “Gunungsewu Type.” This vast landscape, has earned recognition as a UNESCO Global Geopark due to its exceptional geological significance. Beyond its impressive rock formations, Gunungsewu Karst harbors a diverse ecosystem. The network of conical hills, sinkholes, and underground streams above ground is complemented by a hidden world of caves, caverns, and rivers below.
