Gunung Sumbing, Active stratovolcano in Central Java, Indonesia.

Mount Sumbing rises 3,371 meters above sea level with a symmetrical cone shape and features an 800-meter wide crater containing sulfur gases and mud pools.

The last recorded volcanic activity of Mount Sumbing occurred in 1730, resulting in the formation of a small phreatic crater at its summit.

The mountain borders connect three regencies of Central Java: Temanggung, Wonosobo, and Magelang, each maintaining distinct traditional practices and ceremonies.

Hikers can complete the 14-kilometer round trip trek over two days, starting from either Semarang or Yogyakarta with certified mountain guides available.

Mount Sumbing serves as the meeting point of three major river basins: Progo, Serayu, and Bogowonto, which all flow toward the Indian Ocean.

Location: Temanggung

Elevation above the sea: 3,371 m

GPS coordinates: -7.38189,110.07582
