Ascent path
Merbabu quite popular as a venue for climbing activities. The terrain is not too heavy but potential hazards to watch out for hikers is the cold, thick fog, dense forests, but homogeneously (forest conifers, which are not sufficient to support a means of survival or survival), and a lack of water resources. Respect for local traditions also need to be considered.

Wekas PathThe line was very popular among the Youth and Nature Lovers Magelang city, because it is closer and there are many sources of water, so many teenagers who like to camp in post II, especially on holidays. Wekas is the last village to the summit which takes approximately 6-7 hours. Wekas path is so scarce in the short track, flat track stretches. I post quite a wide track with the underlying rocks. Throughout the field trip will see typical highland people who planted onions, cabbage, carrot, and tobacco, livestock can also be found rabbit droppings used as fertilizer. Route to the post I just uphill and takes about 2 hours.
Heading I is a plateau with a hall as a resort. Around this area there are many shops and houses. After I post, there was still a resident through the fields, then enter pine forest. Travel time to the post II is 2 hours, the path continues to climb steeply.
Pos II is a place that is open and flat, the usual set up some dozens of tents. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays Pos II is widely used by teens to camp. So in those days many people who trade food. In this area there are sources of water in the channel through large pipes are accommodated in a tub.
Of Pos II there is a dead end path that leads into a river used as a source of water for the people around Wekas to the surrounding villages. This path follows the flow of water pipe along the edge of the abyss that leads to the river below the crater. There are two streams that make up a very steep waterfall terraced, so that it becomes an incredible sight to a background set of top - top of Mt. Merbabu.
After heading II pathway begins to open up to meet Kopeng crossroads above the heading V (Watu Write), Kopeng path. From this junction heading towards Croquet requires only 15 minutes travel time. The journey continues with a very steep climb through the gap and on the left and right. The bridge climb is called Satan. Then we will arrive at the intersection, go left to the summit of Sharif (Mount Pregodalem) and go right to the top of Kenteng Songo (Songo Kenteng Mountain) are elongated.
