Ambarawa a small city located in the path between the track and Muntilan Bawen city in Central Java. Perhaps, small towns are not too familiar for people who live outside the city of Semarang or Yogyakarta. City Bawen the small city. The city is a line of vehicles crossing from Semarang to Salatiga, Magelang or. Well, when we drive from Semarang to Jakarta, after we will Bawen Ambarawa passes.

A little story about this cool city packed. There are legends that underlie it, that is, the legend Rawapening. Rawa is the very broadest range. This is a quagmire into reasons why the city is named Ambarawa, which means a vast swamp (amba = broad; bhs. Java). And, until now Rawapening is still there. Ambarawa visit, we will find many other interesting objects. There are museums with collections of railway trains parents. Or if we shifted to the regions tourism Bandungan, located approximately 20 kilometers from Ambarawa, we can come to lokawisata history Gedong Songo Temple. To achieve the object this tour is not difficult. When departing from the city of Semarang our bus ride Yogyakarta. So even vice versa, when the bus from Yogyakarta to Semarang choose. Then, down in the city Ambarawa. Similarly, when using a private vehicle.

Until the Ambarawa we can go directly to Bandungan. To drive the public need not worry. Many rural transport that is ready to take traveler's tourism. Ask to get off at the fork Poli (Pauline store). Here was a line in rural transportation. However, public transport is not directly brought to the location of temples tripper. We get off at the fork Gedong Songo. Then travel by using the motorcycles go up to the goal. until after the goal, we will be able to fly to a castle in the country. How not? White clouds will soon catch us, although we are still at the foot temple. Not to mention the sting of cold air marrow. Then, look up will be visible to the group of nine temples stood majestic disperse. This temple was built and structured disperse on the hill. Building a temple stood on the land of their own about 30 X 150 square meters. Building temples sequentially. The temple occupies the first location of the bottom, and then sequentially with increased distance between the various temples first, second and so on.

Position temple is not standing as a sequence of children. Between the buildings with each other sometimes in different directions. But, that, the order is always up to the top. Automatically, we will walk a circle-circle if the building would reach the temple below. Just a suggestion, if you want to climb to enjoy the beauty of this nine temples that you take the road to the left after passing through the gate lokawisata. Indeed, there is no rule for it. However, thus climbing the temple will hold the following sequence. The higher we climb the eyes will not even look tired. On the right-left paths, given the paving block, seen the beautiful natural scenery. Pine trees tower visible in the distance with its tip as if the clouds would pounce. The air above the cold but very refreshing. Fog also continue melingkardi around us.
building across from the temple the first nine to make an impression in the hearts apart. Roads that climb curvaceous, temple building a strong stand on the altitude, the air is cool, gauze, which is always cut to provide exotic memories unforgettable.

This temple is called Gedong Songo because it consists of nine buildings temple. In Javanese language, means building and Gedong Songo means nine. And, in accordance with the order to nine temples stand in the elegant top of the hill. Perhaps building a temple to nine this trip symbolizes the end of mankind achieve its perfection.
