The
journey to get to the bottom of Goa Jomblang (Jomblang cave) are indeed
exhausting. Vertical steep path to reach the bottom of the Jomblang
Cave requires bravery, especially for first timers. The cave horrible
history indeed scares the local people. Many eerie stories come along
with it. However, when we reached the bottom of the cave, all the
fatigue and fear will be replaced by a sense of awe of the beauty of Goa
Jomblang.
Jomblang
Cave is a vertical cave characteristics which diametrically 50 m wide
with vertical sides varies between 60-80 meters. Because getting enough
sunlight, at the bottom some trees grow exuberantly like an underground
forest and on karst wall grow shrubs.
When
we reach the bottom of the cave, we can take a rest for a while in a
cubicle from natural phenomenon. After sort resting, explorers can
continue the journey by tracing the tunnel that connects the Cave
Jomblang with other vertical cave named Grubug.
The tunnel is quite wide with a length of about 500 m. Is not difficult
to pass the tunnel because there is a stone passageway. The both of
cave is a cave that type of combination of vertical and horizontal cave.
If
we can reach the bottom of Grubug at 01.00pm, the views of the sun
through the eternal darkness at the bottom of the Cave Grubug would be
so amazing. The ray has touched a number of stalactites and stalagmites
formed by dripping water over thousands of years. Sunlight broke into
the mouth of Grubug cave and one large stalagmite cave located at the
bottom. On the north side of the huge stalagmites, there is the river
flow that comes from Kalisuci.
