The management affair is carried out by the medley of Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation, Central Java Natural Resources Conservation Centre, and PT. Duta Indonesia Djaya as holding company of License to Natural Resources Exploitation (IIPA) since 1969.

People call it ‘grojogan sewu’, he told, because they believe that the fall pours them thousand fortunes.

“Some say because the water discharge is uncountable, so there are thousands water drops,” he added.

Beside the waterfall, there are other facilities like flying fox, built since 2010, or kids waterboom, built since 2011.
