Visited one of the most popular spot in Semarang County, Umbul Sidomukti. It is located in the highland area. The air is fresh and the weather is kinda cool. When you visit the Pondok Kopi Umbul Sidomukti, they also will serve you various delicious snacks while enjoying the view. And there is a nature-vibe swimming pool in this area with super nice landscape. Best way to come here is with your own or rent a car/motorbike. But I prefer motorbike due to the winding road. I also recommend you to come here earlier in the morning, around 7-8 for the nicer view, although some of the services just open after 9. #wecreate #umbulsidomukti #semarang #bandungan
