Mangunan Pine Forest
Hutan Pinus Mangunan
A man-made pine forest in the hills south of Yogyakarta. Among the straight pine trunks are wooden platforms, tree houses and hammocks, and the morning light filtering through the trees makes for beautiful photos.
The pine forest lies in the hills around Imogiri and Dlingo in Bantul Regency. It is community-managed, and entry or parking costs little or nothing. Wooden benches, an open-air stage and viewing platforms have been set up in the forest, and local couples come to take wedding photos at weekends. Nearby, Kebun Buah Mangunan is a viewpoint known for sunrise over the sea of clouds, and it is about an hour's drive from the city. The mountain roads are narrow, and they become slippery in the rainy season, so take care.
