Posted by : Harmawan's Site |

Three back part of mountain and mountainous which confine the south of Probolinggo are Tengger mountainous with Bromo, Mt Lamongan and Yang upland. They are not only beautiful scenery but also as Yang upland preservation
The hills have power of attraction and unique. These make the researcher and nature concern group from many collages in Indonesia want to climb the peak of Argopuro. A difficult area with very step high side and sloping valley, nature mantraps are in the way (there is nature mantrap along the way). Those are challenge to get a deep impression.
Arriving in Bremi will be looked Yang upland. In the morning, there are thousands of honey bee. They fly around the white coffee’s flower which is stretched out in ascent’s gate Ayerdingin. Shaking of resin forest calls us to enter it. If you are bored, you can look a large lake in “Taman Hidup”. Here, you can take a rest on tent
From “Taman Hidup (the Live Garden)” to Cicentor, you have to follow the way and find a little river which is called by “Aeng Kenek (the Small River)”. At Cicentor, there is a place for making a tent. It’s also as the second place for taking a rest after “Taman Hidup”
From Cicentor, the next place is the Argopuro’s Peak. It’s very interesting place, because the one way to go to Edelweis Park. It’s very large and beautiful. Edelweis is a strange flower and it will never die for many years. Ancient Javanesse call it as “Tan – Alayu” flower. Also it’s known as “Eternal Flower (Anaphalis Javanica)”
Before arriving at Peak of Mt Argopuro, we will find the wilderness. It’s very dangerous because there are many natural mantraps. They can be little visible stools (trees). It’s known as a person tree or sting leaves. Stem, stalk, and the surface of leaves full of thorns. If they touch people skin, it will cause itch, pain and also hot. It likes the person which caused by honey bee, centipede or poison species of scorpion. But sometimes that poisonous can cure the diseases, such as reumathic. Because of that, in this area there are no animals or wild animals like snake, antipode and so on
The cold wind blows friendly to the climber of Argopuro Peak (3.088 metres). Each climber must admire it. Due to the Argopuro is the tallest hill which is near by the Yang upland. Eventhough, it has been many centuries, it never care but it still shows the ex-main building, a deepen foundation that being room border, entrance & connector door, praying place (the “Pura”) and main portal. It’s pity, up to now we can’t find a charter or evidence that shows the year numeration, so that the ruins of palace which is used as a place for taking a rest of beautiful queen, it’s named “Dewi Rengganis” still become a mysterious one
You will be lazy to go from this beautiful place. But there are many interesting places that need to be visited. After from the Argopuro Peak or “Rengganis Palace”, you come back to “Cicentor” and continuing of your traveling to “Si Kasur”. Going around the “Batu Lempeng” hill, going down to the “Pondok Celot At Si Kasur, there are two of bungalow. There are only for foundation and half of stone wall. But they stand firmly. An ex-building from Mr Ladebour, the lord when the Dutch’s colonialist command in Indonesia, there is foundation for plane. In the map of “Yang Upland”, this location is called by “Alun – Alun Besar (Big Square)”. It’s not far away from this building and now called by “Cemara Satu”, there is a water source and called by “Sungai Kolbu (Kolbu River)”. A fresh vegetables is provided for everyone who camp at Si Kasur
From Si Kasur, we must down a valley, named is “Jurang Dalam”, then through “Jambangan” and going around the “Cemara Dua” hill. Walking to “Alun – Alun Kecil (A small square)” and we arrive at “Cemara Panjang” hill. Here, you will find a water source. If you want to continue your way, you will find a cross road. There is a sign and warning board. After traveling from “Pondok Lalang”, “Taman Sari” and “Batu Lawang”, the climb route of Argopuro / Rengganis Peak is over at exitgate named “Baderan”
