Sumberboto Camp

Wana Wisata Sumberboto seluas 2 hektar di desa Japangan Kec. Mojowarno. Obyek wisata ini dilengkapi dengan fasilitas berkemah yang mampu menampung 750 orang. Pada hari libur banyak dikunjungi oleh pengunjung lokal.

Semula, wana wisata ini merupakan tempat pemandian biasa. Setelah proklamasi kemerdekaan, muncul sebuah organisasi angkatan muda kehutanan dari korps karyawan kehutanan. Di lokasi ini pula sebuah monumen dijadikan tonggak sejarah perjuangan pada tahun 1945 dan 1948 bagi pasukan Wanara dan warga kehutanan sekitar.

Saat itu pemandian Sumberboto dijadikan tempat persenjataan pasukan Wanara dengan menghasilkan jenis peluru, granat, bom dan jenis senjata yang lain. Untuk melengkapi kebutuhan perang melawan penjajah Belanda. Pasukan ini hidup serba memprihatinkan sehari makan sehari tidak, di pemandian yang masih berupa hutan belantara.

Hampir setiap hari, pasukan ini membuka sejumlah bom peninggalan penjajah Jepang untuk diolah menjadi peluru dan granat. Namun, upaya ini membawa musibah diluar dugaan. Pada tanggal 12 April 1948, tiba-tiba bom seberat 500 kg yang dibuka itu meledak hingga menewaskan lima anggota pasukan Wanara. Lokasi ledakan bom ini kemudian dijadikan monumen Sumberboto yang dilengkapi dua patung prajurit, yang bertengger sampai sekarang.

Seiring dengan perkembangan jaman, lokasi pemandian ini dikembangkan sebagai wana wisata, lengkap dengan bangunan kolam renang, wisma, pendap, bumi perkemahan, MCK dan sarana rekreasi keluarga.

Bromo Mountain

Mount Bromo (Indonesian: Gunung Bromo), is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known. The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.

Mount Bromo sits in the middle of a vast plain called the "Sea of Sand" (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The best views from Mount Bromo to the Sand Sea below and the surrounding volcanoes are at sunrise. The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers

Matahari di Gunung Bromo

Mengunjungi Bromo bagi sebagian orang adalah untuk melihat fenomena matahari terbit. Sebuah pemandangan yang luar biasa adalah saat melihat langsung terbitnya matahari dari penanjakan.

Pengunjung biasa mengunjungi kawasan ini sejak dini hari dengan tujuan melihat terbitnya matahari. Untuk melihatnya, Anda harus menaiki Gunung Pananjakan yang merupakan gunung tertinggi di kawasan ini. Medan yang harus dilalui untuk menuju Gunung Pananjakan merupakan medan yang berat. Untuk menuju kaki Gunung Pananjakan, Anda harus melalui daerah yang menyerupai gurun yang dapat membuat Anda tersesat. Saat harus menaiki Gunung Pananjakan, jalan yang sempit dan banyak tikungan tajam tentu membutuhkan ketrampilan menyetir yang tinggi. Untuk itu, banyak pengunjung yang memilih menyewa mobil hardtop (sejenis mobil jeep) yang dikemudikan oleh masyarakat sekitar. Masyarakat sekitar berasal dari suku Tengger yang ramah dengan para pengunjung.

Setelah sampai di Penanjakan, ada banyak toko yang menyediakan kopi atau teh hangat dan api unggun untuk menghangatkan tubuh sambil menunggu waktu tebitnya matahari. Ada pula toko yang menyewakan pakaian hangat. Menyaksikan terbitnya matahari memang merupakan peristiwa yang menarik. Buktinya, para pengunjung rela menunggu sejak pukul 5 pagi menghadap sebelah timur agar tidak kehilangan moment ini. Anda pun tidak selalu bisa melihat peristiwa ini, karena bila langit berawan, kemunculan matahari ini tidak terlihat secara jelas. Namun, saat langit cerah, Anda dapat melihat bulatan matahari yang pertama-tama hanya sekecil pentul korek api, perlahan-lahan membesar dan akhirnya membentuk bulatan utuh dan memberi penerangan sehingga kita dapat melihat pemandangan gunung-gunung yang ada di kawasan ini. Antara lain, Gunung Bromo, Gunung Batok, atau Gunung Semeru yang merupakan gunung tertinggi di Pulau Jawa

Bhineka Tunggal Ika

The national emblem of the Republic of Indonesia, GARUDA PANCASILA, is emblazoned with the words BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA. Translated, they mean 'Unity in Diversity' or, 'We are of many kinds, but we are one'. This motto is a founding principle of the modern Indonesian nation, which declares the essential unity of its members despite ethnic, regional, social or religious differences.

The concept of BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA is not new to Indonesian history. It can be traced back to the time of the construction of Borobudur, when the Sailendra dynasty ruled on the plains of Central Java in the eighth and ninth centuries. Two hundred years later, in the Brantas Valley in East Java, King Airlangga built a united kingdom based on this same principle.

It was, however, the 14th century poet sage of Majapahit, Mpu Tantular, who is said to have committed the phrase to writing for the first time. In his religious poem Sutasoma, composed during the reign of King Rajasanagara (Hayam Wuruk), Mpu Tantular expounded a doctrine of reconciliation between the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. Such a spirit of religious tolerance was an essential element in the foundation and security of the newly emerging State of Majapahit, which reached the height of its power and influence under the guiding hand of the prime minister Gajah Mada.

In more recent years, the words of Mpu Tantular were an inspiration to the founders of the first Independent Government of the Republic of Indonesia, and today they are found immortalized on the national emblem.
