Golo Curu Hill
Golo Curu
A Catholic pilgrimage hill just north of Ruteng, where a path of fourteen Stations of the Cross leads to the summit, offering views over rice terraces and the town.
Golo Curu is a small hill about 3 km north of Ruteng, with a statue of the Virgin Mary at its summit. Fourteen Stations of the Cross line the path, making it a pilgrimage site for local Catholics. The climb to the top takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and from the summit you can look down on the layered rice fields of the valley where Ruteng sits, with distant mountains beyond. Clouds often drift over the fields in the early morning, making it a classic photography spot. Entry is free. From the town center, it is about a 10-minute ride by motorbike taxi, and early morning or late afternoon visits are best.
