History of the Breccia Cliffs
History of the Breccia Cliffs can not be separated from the limestone quarry that used to be in place or location of this Breccia Cliff.
This is where, starting in the 80s, the residents of Jogja who inhabit the area around the Cliffs, earned good fortune from mining building materials in this place. That job was the only way to meet their economic needs.
Everything went normal, normal and there were no significant obstacles until the researchers arrived at the limestone mine.
The research began and lasted for some time. After surveying the mine site, the researchers found that the limestone contained in the soil at Breksi Cliff was volcanic ash deposits originating from Mount Nglanggeran, Gunung Kidul.
Based on these findings, at that time mining activities at the Breksi Cliff location were stopped and prohibited from being carried out. The termination is because the Breksi Cliff area has been considered and included in the cultural heritage area whose existence must be maintained and preserved, instead of being mined.
After the mining activity was completely stopped, the mine site was left abandoned for some time without being taken care of. Fortunately, thanks to the ideas of the ex-mining community, the unkempt area was slowly polished to make it attractive.
In the end, it became what we now see as a Breksi Cliff tourist spot. Even though it may not be as romantic as other romantic tourist spots in Jogja, this place deserves to be one of the favorite destinations in Yogyakarta.
Some may ask, where did the word breccias come from and was chosen as the name for this cliff?
So amazingly, the naming of this cliff with the name Breksi Cliff is also the result of the ideas and creativity of the residents themselves.
This cliff is named the Breccia Cliff because of the scars from the process of excavation and taking building materials that used to be done. According to residents, it is very similar to the one on the rock hills in Bandung and Bali, which is also called Breccia.
It was finally agreed that the 5,600 square meter cliff area would be named the Breksi Cliff.
