A group of restored Hindu temples was built during the early period of the Medang Kingdom which controlled Central Java during the 8th and 9th centuries. Similar to the temples on the Dieng Plateau, they are some of the oldest Hindu structures in Java, predating both Borobudur and Prambanan. They are placed across the mountainside, and in clear weather, there are good views down across the surrounding plain and neighboring volcanoes, thanks to the 1,200 m above sea level elevation. Go early in the day to get the best chance of good views. On-site there is a volcanic fumarole with hot spring bathing, and horse rides.
Gedong Songo is a group of Hindu temples located near Bandungan, Semarang Regency, in north Central Java, Indonesia. It is variously dated between the 8th and 9th-century. Built around a 1,270 metres (4,170 ft) hill near Mount Ungaran, it consist of five Gedong – two on the east side of the hill, two towards the north and one to the west. These total nine temples, all dedicated to Shiva and Parvati. The Gedong Songo complex is one of 110 sites in central Java with Hindu temple structures or remains, and one of 21 in Semarang area, states Veronique Degroot.

Located on the slope of Mount Ungaran. You also may trail to the waterfall Curug Lawe Secepit.
Actually two waterfalls close by each, Curug Lawe and Curug Benowo (curug is Javanese for waterfall). The first part of the hike is along the side of an irrigation canal, followed by a section across the fairly rocky ground. There is the chance to see black Javanese leaf monkeys. They are usually active in the early morning.
Enjoy a hot bath in a hilly and cooler area of Kendal.
A couple of hours hike through nutmeg plantations and natural forest. There is a pool so you can swim there. Some small food stalls have been set up near the waterfall.
