If visiting klaten district, there is one district that is famous for craft pottery and batik Bayat district. In addition, the bayat area is also famous for its spiritual tourism that is the grave of sunan pandanaran and also Rowo Jombor as well as a variety of new tourist rides interesting to explore and the cost is quite cheap which continues to grow and develop in the district of bayat, one of which is Watu Sepur tourism located in Dusun Bogoran, Jotangan Village, Bayat District, Klaten District. According to residents who I asked when to the location, Watu Sepur tourism was built around January 2018 so it is still relatively new. Entrance fee / ticket only Rp 2,000 plus parking Rp 2,000 for motorcycles and Rp 5,000 for cars and already provided counter so pay later parking and entrance fee at the counter. The parking area is not yet wide enough as it is in the hill of love may be new and the visitor has not been much so not optimal but the service is very good when I came already assisted arranged the same officer and found a shady place so the motor, especially the motor seat is not too hot.
If you do not know the location can use the help google map search with keywords watu sepur bayat or you can click here. I visited May 10, 2018 from Kebonarum and use the help of google map then google map suggest via rowo jombor, from my location to watu rur the road is good there is a road that is still less good from rowo jombor to watur rur may be as long as 100 meters but other than that already good. From rowo jombor to watu roughly about 3KM – 3.5KM. When I got there I did not find the location board so rely on the help google map and when google showed up until it was not until the actual location because it did not find a sign and there are residents I finally asked and told to go up about 300-500 meters and finally to the location.
I think earlier it was called Watu Sepur stone was carved and made in such a way that it looks like a train but it turns out according to one of the citizens called watu sepur it because the stone is long and may be approximately approximately 100-150 meters long. by the way If from the parking lot or entrance gate then go up the rocky staircase that is not quite good maybe the future can be repaired for example with casted after up there are 2 options, if to the right then to watu sepur but be careful because there is no fence, if to the left it will be to the view point (Gardu Pandang) made of tree trunks which you can use to see some of klaten city from above and become spot photo which is good enough to be shared to social media.
On the way to the top will be found a lot of pretty good photo spots that can be shared into social media such as swing chairs from bamboo, Hammock (hammock), natural long bridges, chairs made of tree trunks and decorated with synthetic flowers, etc. The facilities provided are also complete besides the counter and parking lot will be found a kind of gazebo and seating that you can use to rest and eat the supplies you bring, if not bring a quiet lunch just because there are already some stalls selling food and drinks. When there mosque and bathroom is still in the process of development so can not be used. Already provided a garbage so that visitors do not throw garbage carelessly. The location is shady, cool, not too hot and also fresh air because many tall trees such as teak and mahogany trees that shade.
Some of the proceeds from Watu Sepur will be used by local youth for social activities such as donated to orphanages, etc. The location is perfect for outbound or camping let alone take children to play there. With all the advantages and disadvantages there is no harm to those of you who are in Klaten or outside klaten to spend time with family or friends to visit Watu Sepur tour then share your photos so that more and more people know and make klaten tourism become more developed and developed and welfare klaten residents.
