Pegawai Google Bing Yandex Melaporkan - Not only in England, giant stone structures like Stonehenge are found in Bondowoso. Until now, the stone structure is still mysterious. The popularity of the Stonehenge megalithic site in England is undoubtedly true. The proof is that many replicas of this site were made in other countries, such as Carhenge and Foamhenge in America, which adopted the shape of this hanging stone site. But in Bondowoso you will find its original twin, not made by modern human hands, but both from a derisive age, the name is Solor Stone.
Everyone would know about Stonehenge, a giant stacked stone site at Amesbury in Wiltshire, England. But not many know that Indonesia also has similar sites.
Located in Solor Village, Cermee District, Bondowoso, East Java, local residents call it 'Betoh So'on'. If interpreted, betoh so'on is gem stone. The stones are indeed piled up, arranged like a stone from England.
However, the journey to get there is not easy. Need to work hard past the challenging terrain. It takes about 3 hours from Bondowoso Square. The journey began to challenge when it began to enter the village of Solor. The road route is in the form of land and rock.
The car that was boarded was forced to hit the uneven road. The contours that are passed are quite challenging because of the many inclines, turns, and derivatives. Not to mention the narrow road that only fits one car.
If it's raining, get ready to suffer, because the level of difficulty will definitely increase. Road mud will definitely make it difficult for the wheels of the car to spin.
The ugly road will surely make us wonder when the arrival to Betoh So'on. Naturally, because of the ugly road we have to go through a dozen kilometers. Entertainment in the middle of the road is just a residential village that is still beautiful with rice fields and green fields. There are also forests and rivers that flow.
Had asked the residents whether there was another road access to Betoh So'on. But the residents answered that it was the only road access to Betoh So'on, there were no other alternative roads.
But believe me, feeling tired during the trip and feeling angry will disappear when I get to the location. In that green nuance location, you can see seven rows of large stones standing in a row. The megalithic stone is at the bottom of the valley. The stone can only be enjoyed from the top of the hill.
Those who want to enjoy cannot seem to go down into the valley because of the steep and deep ravines that are formed. I don't know how many meters high this stone henge van Java is. To be sure, on a rock that functions as a pillar, there are still more stones on it, like stacked.
Really awesome. In addition to the beautiful scenery, this admiration also exists because of the wonders and splendor of the stone piled high up.
Who put and arranged the big and tall stones in the valley? According to local residents, they believe that God put the stone. That is, the stone is formed by itself without human intervention.
It's okay for residents to say that, but it seems that no researcher has tried to find out how the big rock can be arranged and stacked in such a way. Maybe later there are archaeologists who are interested in researching.
Referring back to the naming of Solor Stone, the local residents even knew this site by the name Batu Bersusun and sometimes it was also referred to in the Madurese language as "So'on Batoh" then because the location of the discovery was in Solor village then this place was called Batoh So ' on Solor. Not only that, its uniqueness, there are other mystical stories that are there, it is said that residents say there is one stone in the shape of a human being sprawled out, this place is very sacred by local residents.
Regardless of whether or not the story is trusted by local residents, it is clear that the Solor Stone site does have great tourism potential if it is worked properly. The proof is with mediocre facilities that many travelers are willing to travel long distances and find it difficult just to see the sightings of the stone sites mentioned as Indonesian Stonehengenya.
Access road to the location is still quite difficult to pass. A traveler must cross the township before going through the hills and rice fields with damaged road conditions. But lately the route to the Stonehenge van Java site has received serious attention from the Bondowoso district government. A number of roads have begun to be repaired which aim to make visitors comfortable going there.
About the road, tourists need not worry. Bondowoso Regency Government has fixed the road infrastructure to the location. In fact, up to the location, the road was smooth.
While for entry tickets. Only need to reach a pocket of 5,000 and a parking fee of 2000 rupiah, visitors can already see the beauty of So'on Stone, and take pictures as much as they want, from the photo provided.
