Lawu Mountain, Active volcano in East and Central Java, Indonesia

Mount Lawu rises to 3,265 meters above sea level and features three distinct peaks: Hargo Dalem, Hargo Dumiling, and Hargo Dumilah.

The volcano's last recorded eruption occurred in 1885, after which it entered a dormant state while maintaining geothermal activity beneath its surface.

Several ancient Hindu-Buddhist temples and megalithic structures dot the mountain slopes, indicating centuries of religious significance for local communities.

Five established hiking routes lead to the summit, with Cemoro Sewu trail being the most accessible path, requiring approximately seven hours to reach the top.

At 3,100 meters altitude near Hargo Dumilah peak, Warung Mbok Yem operates as one of the highest-situated food stalls in Indonesia.

Elevation above the sea: 3,265 m

GPS coordinates: -7.62734,111.19437
