Kebumen

The Kebumen region extends across 1,281 square kilometers of land, featuring lowlands in the south and mountains in the northern section of Central Java.

The Van der Wijck Fortress, constructed by Dutch forces in 1818, served as a military base during the Diponegoro War and later became a European children's school.

The Karangsambung-Karangbolong National Geopark contains numerous archaeological sites from megalithic, Hindu-Buddhist, Islamic, and colonial periods of Indonesian history.

Twenty-six administrative districts compose the regency, containing 449 villages connected by an extensive network of intercity buses and train stations.

The region includes substantial karst formations near Gombong, where limestone mountain ranges create a geological landscape characteristic of southern Central Java.
