Magelang is a popular region in Central Java, because it has global tourism objects, such as Borobudur Temple. Besides Borobudur Temple, Magelang city also has a variety of interesting tourist objects to explore such as Silancur Highland. Silancur Highland is located in Mangli village, Kaliangkrik sub-district, Magelang, Central Java. Its location is at the slope of Mount Sumbing with an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level. Silancur Highland is located 15 kilometers from the town square of Magelang and takes about 30 minutes to reach there. To enter this tourism object, you have to pay a ticket Rp.15,000 per person.

The main attraction of the Silancur Highland is seeing sunrise. If you want to see the phenomenon of sunrise at Silancur Highland, I suggest you to come early morning. This panorama of the sunrise from the east is decorated with silhouettes from Mount Merapi, Merbabu, Andong and Telomoyo. When the sun rise is over, the beauty of Silancur Highland is no less interesting. The view of the mountains is seeing more clearly and you can take pictures with a beautiful mountainous panorama as the background.

If you like camping, this tourism site is the right choice, because Silancur Highland offers a camping ground. You can enjoy the lights of Magelang city and also the view of the stars at night. The management also provides tents for visitors who do not bring camping equipment. The camping area has been completed by electricity. So you don't have to worry about running out of gadget batteries. The temperature in Silancur Highland is cold, around 11 degrees Celsius at night, so you have to bring a thick jacket if you want to camp. Don't worry, the Silancur camping area are also equipped with food stalls which provide various food supplies.
