Umbul Ponggok Klaten
Water attractions in Klaten can be for exciting snorkeling and diving that you can try. The origin of the name Umbul Ponggok comes from two words, namely “Umbul” which means spring and “Ponggok” is the name of the village where the pennant is located.
The Ponggok pennant is a spring in a Ponggok Village located in Polan Harjo District, Klaten, Central Java. According to the story, the pennant has been around for hundreds of years, and the existence of the Ponggok pennant in the Dutch colonial period was used for plantation irrigation, and in recent years it has also been used for water tourism sites. The Ponggok Pennant Pool has a size of 50 x 25 meters with depth the average water is 1.5 – 2.6 meters.
Snorkeling in this place you do not need to be afraid of being carried away by waves, because in this place it is not at sea melinkan at the source of fresh and clear natural springs with many types of fish that live in it. The pool in Umbul Ponggok is different from other ponds, the bottom of this pond not in the form of a tiled floor but still natural in the form of sand and some rocks that also contain thousands of fish that beautify the beauty of the pond.
Although it is filled with fish, the water in the Ponggok pennant is very clear. This is because there is a continuous source of natural eye water, so that the water will continue to be clear and clean.
With the presence of fish, this makes it one of the main attractions that make many visitors want to visit it. This adds a distinctive impression which, in my opinion, makes a lot of fun and fairly fun. The Ponggok Pennant has an amazing underwater scenery / panorama. With various types of freshwater fish in it, makes you feel peaceful and happy.
This is the heaven given by God in pennant ponggok. The bottom of a sandy pond makes the “natural” impression even more clear in Ponggok pennant. Supported with large and small rocks in each inch at the bottom of the ponggok pennant. For residents of Ponggok and its surroundings, clean water is not a difficult thing to get.
Because almost in the Polanharjo area there are fast flowing springs, so that residents no longer need to look for clean water. Especially the ponggok pennant, the springs in the middle of the pond flowed so hard and never stopped. With clear and flowing water quality, it is certainly not harmful to the skin health of visitors swimming in the pool.
