The mud volcano spans 700 meters in diameter and features multiple eruption centers that release gas bubbles through the surface every few minutes.

During Indonesia's colonial period, Dutch settlers frequented the site, establishing it as one of Central Java's early natural attractions.

Local communities near the mud volcano extract minerals and salt from the area, selling them as premium products in regional markets.

Visitors should arrive during daylight hours and coordinate with local guides who provide essential safety instructions for navigating the volcanic terrain.
