Climb up a thousand steps to the grave of Sunan Muria. The pasanggrahan is on top of the hill, lovely location, Rp900 per room. As/i meals are served here such as ayam panggeng, Rp200; and nasi pecel pakis with fish, Rp200. Bleduk Kuwu: 25 km east of Purwodadi. See the Eternal Flame and other strange volcanic phenomena in the form of mud volcanoes and vapor exploding out of the ground. The mud is brackish and since time immemorial (even mentioned in Chinese dynastic records) the population has made its salt from the salt wells it forms. From G. Kuwu to Dander on the border of Central and East Java, there's an arid chain of limestone hills, called Gunung Kendang. Along this road is Gua Teras, a one km long cave.
