The Legend of Suroloyo Peak
The legend about Puncak Suroloyo comes from a poet named Ngabehi Yasadipura from the Surakarta Palace, whose book is entitled Cabolek. He recounted that Raden Mas Rangsang, the Crown Prince of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom, had received a wangsit to become the ruler of the land of Java. Raden Mas Rangsang had to walk from the palace in the Kotagede area to the west. After traveling about 40 kilometers in the Menoreh Mountains region, he fainted from exhaustion. In his stupor, Raden Mas Rangsang received a second wangsit. The Wangsit ordered Raden Mas Rangsang, who had the title of Sultan Agung Hanyakrakusuma when he was growing up, to perform tapa cesarian in that place. That place is now called Suroloyo Peak.
