Location
Bejiharjo Village is located in a karst hill area so it is dominated by rocks. Pindul Cave can be reached from the city of Yogyakarta using private vehicles such as motorbikes or cars via the Wonosari road, located about 7 km to the north of the city of Wonosari, after entering Bejiharjo Village, the journey continues following the asphalt road. Exploring inside the cave you will find stalactite rock formations, which are a type of secondary mineral that hangs from the ceiling of limestone caves. There are even stalactites that have grown to the bottom and become like pillars. Some karst rocks are still alive and dripping with water. It is divided into three zones, namely light, dim and dark zones. One part of Pindul Cave has a place that is wide enough to look like a pool and there is a gap that is wide enough for sunlight to enter. This gap can also be used as an entry point by entering the cave vertically.
