Jogja’s natural beauty is a captivating blend of rugged coastlines, lush green hills, and mystical caves. From the serene beaches of Gunungkidul like Watukodok and Sedahan, to the misty peaks of Mount Merapi and the tranquil rice fields of Kaliurang, the region offers a diverse landscape that enchants adventurers and nature lovers alike. Its rich biodiversity, scenic waterfalls, and hidden natural gems make Jogja a perfect escape for those seeking both relaxation and outdoor exploration.
Yogyakarta also offers various places for trekking, including the quite popular Kali Talang. In addition to Kali Talang, a lesser-known trekking route is the Greweng Beach Trekking. If Kali Talang offers typical mountain views, then Greweng Beach offers the beauty of the beach panorama.
Greweng Beach Trekking is a nature trip that takes about 3 hours and a distance of about 4-5 kilometers. As is known, the southern coastal area of Java was millions of years ago the seabed which was then lifted along with the formation of Mount Merapi. So the natural landscape is coral hills. This route offers the experience of exploring the coral hills on the southern coast of Java which are still natural, with green views of seawater and white sand beaches that are rarely touched by tourists. Creating a sense of calm, peace, solitude, and freedom.
Greweng Trekking Route
The journey starts from Jungwok Beach which is known for its white sand and coral cliffs. From here, tourists will follow the path with the contour of the coral hills to Greweng Beach. Greweng Beach itself is a small hidden beach that cannot be accessed by any mode of transportation so it is almost impossible for there to be tourists here. However, there are two to three families of fishermen living here.
After enjoying the beauty of Greweng Beach, the journey continues to Sinden Hill. It only takes 10 minutes to reach the top of Sinden Hill. Sinden Hill itself is more like a small bay. On the left is a cape, while on the right is Gelatik Island.
After returning to Greweng Beach, the journey continues to Sedahan Beach. Although Sedahan Beach can be accessed by motorbike, this beach is still rarely visited. This beach is usually visited only on weekends. Sometimes there are also visitors who camp on this beach because even though the facilities are still limited, there are still toilets.
Sedahan Beach is also known as one of the places where turtles lay their eggs. This shows that the ecosystem in this area is still well maintained.
After visiting Sedahan Beach, the trekking continues back to Jungwok Beach via the same route.
