LUWENG SAMPANG WATERFALL

Luweng Sampang waterfall is one of the enchanting natural attractions in Jogja. There are many beauties and interesting things that can be enjoyed and are rarely found in other similar natural tourist sites. One of its uniqueness is the view. The cliffs are shaped like neat hill scrapes. In addition, the waterfall has a different flow and shape compared to other waterfalls. Both the cliff and the shape of the waterfall have their own process of formation and origin. The origin of the naming Luweng Sampang can be seen from the shape of the waterfall. The flow of water forms a hole which in the local language is called luweng. While Sampang is the place where this waterfall is located. Regarding the shape of the cliff, according to several tourists who have visited this location, this cliff is shaped similar to the Antalope Canyon spot in Arizona, United States. Because they are both in the form of regular scraping from the top to the bottom. It could be that some other visitors have a different opinion. But still, this part of the cliff is unique. The erosion is formed due to water erosion. In addition, the rocks are also not like many rocks that are often found. The rocks in some areas of Gunung Kidul are indeed rocky and almost like rocks. This area is located on the southern coast which is directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean. So that the unique atmosphere of the ocean so affects the nature around the location. At the base of the waterfall there is a small pool that can be used as a water play vehicle. Uniquely, this pool has at least two colors. Namely brown and turquoise blue. These colors do not appear at the same time, but depending on the conditions. During the rainy season, the pool water looks brown with the swift discharge of the waterfall. This can be caused by the swift water that makes the soil at the bottom of the pond rise to the surface. But it's different in the dry season. #naturalwonders #waterfall #naturalwonders
