PREFACE.
The following few pages give a short description of
the places passed by the Tourist on his Motor Car
trip through the island of Java from Sourabaya to
Batavia.
This description does by no means claim to be ex-
haustive, it is merely intended to give the Tourist a
general idea of what he may expect to see. The route
traversed leads through intensely cultivated districts
with an abundance of charming views. The nights are
generally spent in the towns mentioned in these
pages where there are good hotels with all modern
conveniences.
As it is not customary in Java to dress for dinner
evening dress need not be brought along by the
Tourist and, as a motor car can only carry a limited
amount of luggage, Tourists are, in their own inte-
rest, requested to travel as lightly as possible. One
suit case of moderate dimensions for each passenger
affords ample space for everything that is required
on an overland trip, as there are opportunities to
have linen washed en route.
Soap should be brought along by the Tourist as
none of the Hotels in the island provides this neces-
sary commodity.
Sourabaya is the leading commercial and in-
dustrial city of the Dutch East Indies with a popu-
lation of about 250,000, of which about 25,000 are
Europeans. It possesses the most up to date harbour
in the whole of the archipelago. This harbour, called
Tandjong Perak, is about 7 miles distant from the
upper, or new, town and is easily reached by motor
car, the road leading to it being laid with asphalt
cement. A modern Electric Tram Service, running
from the Willemsplein (William's Square) near the
Red Bridge, also connects the port with the town.
In the lower town a vast volume of business is being
transacted, Sourabaya being the centre of the Sugar,
Coffee, Rubber and Tobacco trade. Conspicuous
is the large number of Chinese here as everywhere
else in the island. The Retail Trade is almost entirely
in their hands while they have also large interests in
the Sugar, Rubber, Coffee and Timber business. Some
of the handsomest houses in the residential quarters
are owned by Chinese. As regards amusements Soura-
baya enjoys the reputation of being the gayest city
in the Dutch East Indies. There are two Night Clubs
(Dance Clubs), two large Social Clubs, a Cabaret,
an Ice Cream Palace and a number of Cinema
Theatres. Sourabaya is a more modern city than
Batavia and as such cannot boast of the same number
of sights as the latter but for all that no Sourabayan
will ever willingly exchange this town with any other
right through the archipelago.
Tosari, frequently called the Darjeeling of the
DEI is some 75 miles distant from Sourabaya and lies
at an elevation of 6000 feet on the higher slopes of
the Tengger Range. It is the starting point for the
famous Bromo Crater and the Sand Sea. Average
temperature at Tosari is 65° Fahr. There were

formerly three Hindoo villages near Tosari but since
Hindooism has been driven out by Mohammedanism
and the typical temples with their sculptured idols
have disappeared these three villages offer now
nothing at all of interest to the Tourist.
The trip to the Bromo Crater and the Sand Sea
is rather strenuous. One must get up at 2.30 a.m. and
start at 3 a.m. accompanied by lamp bearers. It can
be done either on horse back or in sedan chairs, but
the former mode of locomotion is preferred by most
people as being quicker and less exhausting. One
should carry a warm wrap as the early morning hours
at that altitude are decidedly chilly. Breakfast is
usually partaken of at the foot of the stairs leading
to the Crater rim. A beautiful sunrise, the rule and
not the exception, viewed from the top of the
Moengal Pass, a full 1000 feet above the Sand Sea,
compensates very largely for the early hour of rising.
The arrival back at the Hotel is usually between 10.30
and 11 a.m.
On the road from Tosari to Songgoriti one passes,
just before reaching Malang, the village of Singosari,
where there are still some large Buddha Statues, half
buried in the soil and rather badly damaged. This
part of the country formed part of the once mighty
Hindoo Empire of Modjopahit and numbers of
idols and ruined temples dot the country side.
A little bit further along the road one
turns to the left down a well shaded avenue and then
to the right again for a hundred yards or so to reach
Lake Wendit where there is a Monkey Colony. The
animals are wild but, owing to the shelter they receive
here and the food that is being given them by visitors,
y /
%*%l!

...
they have lost all signs of shyness and approach
visitors in troops to demand their „ toll".
Songgoriti lying in an old Crater bed on the
slopes of the Kawi mountains is a favorite summer
resort of the Sourabayans. Its altitude is 3200 feet
and having a mineral spring rising right in the Hotel
grounds enjoys a reputation as a health giving water-
ing place.
Poedjon, at the top of the pass between the
Ardjoeno and Kawi mountains, offers beautiful
scenery and lovely walks to the visitor. Being 4200
feet high the climate is delightful.
The road from Songgoriti via Poedjon to Kediri
leads through one of the prettiest part of East Java.
First the straw-berry beds at Lebaksari are passed,
then the pretty swimming pool just alongside the
_ road, then an interesting waterfall partly covered by
creepers. Further on one drives for a good distance
along the bank of the rushing mountain stream the
Konto which is in process of being harnessed for
hydro-electric power, it being a stream that never,
even in the driest season, runs dry. Between Ngan-
djoek awl.JVladjoen one passes through large tracts
of Teak Wood~7eserves. These are Government reser-
ves as a teak tree takes fully 75 years to mature and
become of commercial value, a period which is be-
yond the span of time usually allotted to private com-
mercial undertakings.
Solo is reached from Poedjon via Madioen. It is the
seat of the semi-independent Sultan (Soesoehoenan)
of Soerakarta and has a population of about 90,000
of which there are about 2,000 Europeans. The

Craton, or Sultan's Palace, can only be viewed after
permission has been asked from the Resident. The
usual day for a- visit is Wednesday.
Beyond Solo one meets again with large tracts of
Teak Reservations. But, except the Prambanan
Temples, 10 miles outside of Djocja, the road from
Solo to Djocja offers little of interest to the ordinary
sightseer. It is the country par excellence for
Tobacco growing and one sees a large number of
huge drying and curing sheds on this part of the road.
Prambanan Temples. This Temple City is
situated 10 miles from Djocja on the road from
Solo. The walled in square contains six temples of
which the most important and best preserved are
the Ciwa (in the centre) the Wishnu (on the right)
and the Brahma temple (on the left). Opposite the
Ciwa Temple stands the temple of the Sacred Bull.
Around the six temples, surrounded by a ring wall,
were built the dwellings of the priests in charge. The
whole is a Hindoo temple city, alas badly destroyed
by earthquakes.
Djocja is the capital of the semi-independent
sultanate of Djocjakarta with a population of about
98,000 of which about 5,000 are Europeans.
The town of Djocja encloses the walled city,
roughly 1 mile square and inhabited by
about 17,000 people. Inside this walled city is the
Sultan's Palace, commonly called the "Craton".
Within its walls the Sultan has absolute juridiction
over life and death. The walled city also
contains the so called "Water Castle", built in
1758 by Portuguese architects on an artificial island
for the first Sultan of Djocja. It has since been
destroyed by earthquakes and is now no more
than a picturesque ruin. Djocja is the most inte-
resting of all the Javanese cities because of its having
preserved best of all native arts and crafts, customs
and habits. It is the centre of the Batik, Leather and
Brass industry.
Soerakarta (or Solo) and Djocjakarta (or Djocja)
are the only two principalities with native rulers left
of all the native states of Java. Both the Soesoehoenan
of Solo and the Sultan of Djocja are more or less
figure heads, the actual ruler being the Resident,
except in the walled-in city, the Craton, where they
enjoy autocratic powers. On all state occasions the
Resident (the Big Brother as he is called) is placed
on the left of the Prince under the same golden
state umbrella.
In rank the Soesoehoenan is the higher of the two,
as he is also regarded by the Javanese Mahomedans
as their spiritual leader.
As both Princes are given to pomp and extra-
vagance like all Eastern Potentates taxation rests
very heavily on their subjects.
Politically these Princes play no roll whatever.
Borobudur and Mendoet Temples. Famous
Buddhist monuments dating back to about
750 A.D. The Borobudur is said to contain a portion
of the ashes of Buddha. This edifice consists of 9
terraces, the lower 6 being square and the upper 3
round. The 4 galleries contain 1300 sculptures while
the 432 niches hold statues of Dhyani Buddhas.

When the Buddhists were driven out of Mid Java
the priests in charge covered the whole building with
soil, nature doing the rest, and it was left to Raffles
in 1814 to rediscover its site and to give the initiative
to have it laid free again. Not until 1907 did the
Dutch East Indian Government begin with the
systematic restauration which was finished in 1911.
The Mendoet, about 2 miles distant from the
Borobudur, belongs to the same period and forms
part of the ancient priests' settlement. The
building is in a fairly good state of preservation
and contains an 18 feet high granite statue of Buddha,
the actual size of Buddha as the natives firmly
believe.
The road leading from the Borobudur to Wonosobo
is one of the most interesting in the whole of Java.
To Salaman, a village about 5 miles distant from the
Temple, there leads an avenue of Almond Trees of
imposing size, truly a fitting approach to the
magnificent edifice. All the way to Wonosobo the
scenic beauty is such that the traveller is held
entranced. At Loano the road branches sharply off
to the right and the ascent begins. It runs along a
razor back, so to speak, now on the land side of it,
now facing the sea. Beautiful wild rubber trees are
met with as well as tree ferns and sugar palms.
Occasionally one catches a glimpse of the Indian
Ocean, then again one has a view of the
rugged sky line of the hills surrounding the valley in
which the Borobudur is situated. Nearing Wonosobo
one passes a Tea Estate and Factory, thus giving the
traveller his first view of tea gardens in Java.
Wonosobo. 2800 feet high on the slopes of the
twin volcanoes Sindoro and Soembing has a beautiful
cool climate. Badly ravaged by an earthquake in
November 1924 it has since been entirely rebuilt.
Wonosobo is the starting point of excursions to the
Dieng Plateau, 6800 feet high, containing the ruins
of an old Hindoo temple city.
To make an excursion to the Dieng Plateau
visitors should set at least three days aside. It means
roughing it on the plateau, horseback riding and
spending 2 nights at Government Resthouses. Warm
clothing is decidedly required as the altitude of the
plateau is 6800 feet and a piercing wind is more often
than not experienced.
When we have said that the approach to Wonosobo
is beautiful, then this must also be claimed for the
road from Wonosobo to Banjoemas on the way to
Cheribon. It runs as far as Banjoemas down the
valley of the Serajoe river with hills on both sides
of the road covered with terraced fields. Thick
bamboo clusters hide the villages and bamboo
bridges span the river. Nearing Banjoemas we pass
along sugar cane fields and sugar mills. The broad tree
shaded avenues of the town of Banjoemas lend this
place a very pleasing aspect. From here to
Poerwokerto is but a short run through sugar cane
fields, but after Poerwokerto the road once more
leads through hilly country until it reaches the low
lying land along the North Coast of Java. Before
reaching the main North Road one runs for about
18 miles along the Pemali Canal, an irrigation canal
of some 25 miles length irrigating the entire plain
east of the Losari River as far as Tegal. This canal is
a master piece of water architecture, it is laid bodily
across the river bed and contains a number of locks.
10
From the little town of Tandjong the road runs due
west to Cheribon along the North Coast, approaching
the Java Sea at' some parts of the way within about
100 yards.
Cheribon is the capital of the Residency of
Cheribon with a population of about 23000 of which
about 1000 are Europeans. It is one of the four prin-
cipal ports along Java's North Coast for the ship-
ment of Sugar and Tea. The town contains the palaces
of the two remaining descendents of the former
Sultans of Cheribon who were dethroned owing to
intrigues against the Dutch Government. Otherwise
there is nothing of interest here.
From Cheribon two roads lead to Bandoeng. One is
by way of the Soemedang Valley, picturesque and
interesting enough, and the shorter one, but the other
one, by way of Koeningan, Tjigoegoer and Lake
Pendjaloe, is really the show road of Java as regards
scenic beauty and road engineering feats. One gets the
most glorious views over valleys, hills and undulating
country, showing the intense cultivation of Java in
such variety and fulness as nowhere else. We advise,
therefore, all travellers to take this route instead of
the easier and slightly shorter one by way of the
Soemedang Pass.
Tjigoegoer on the road from Cheribon via
Koeningan to Garoet is a Sacred Fish Pond of
Hindoo origin much visited by the native populace.
In a very picturesque setting the pond contains a
great number of large sized fish which come in
shoals to the bank in order to be fed.
The Lake of Pendjaloe, further along the road
to Tasikmalaja and Garoet, the sacred lake,
U
holds in its midst an island with the graves of three
former princes of Pendjaloe as well as that of an
Assistant Resident of Koeningan who expressed a
wish to be buried on the spot he liked best. His
coffin containing the corpse was carried by his faith-
ful servants all the way from Koeningan and
interred on the island amidst the sorrowing of the
natives who revered in him a just and benevolent
master. The trees on the island are inhabited by
large numbers of flying foxes.
Garoet, 2500 feet high, is considered the beauty
spot of Java, lying in one of the most beautiful
settings of the Preanger Regencies. Five volcanoes
enclose the plain in which the town of Garoet is
situated, the Tjikoerai, the Papandajan, the Goen-
toer, the Haroeman and the Galoenggoeng. The
plain further holds the pretty lakes of Bagendit and
Leles while the hot springs of Tjipanas are situated at
the foot of the Goentoer. These springs are sulphurous
and enjoy a great reputation as beneficial among the
natives and Chinese. The temperature of the spring
water is 100° Fahr. and that of the swimming
pool 86°.
A visit to the Papandajan Crater is, while the road
leading to it remains in its present state, very
strenuous, much more so than to the Bromo Crater.
One views there boiling mud holes and solfataras,
but whether these are of sufficient inducement to
the visitor to make him get up at 5 a.m., motor 14
miles to the small hotel Villa Pauline at Tjisoeroepan
whence the actual ascent on horseback or in sedan
chairs is made, and then cover over a mile on foot
over a most atrocious path strewn with big boulders

and sharp rocks, is left entirely to the discretion of
the visitor.
Bandoeng is the most modern town in Java. It
is, in fact, little more than 20 years old. The popula-
tion numbers about 200,000 of wich about 15,000
are Europeans without counting the military element.
Most of the Government Offices have been trans-
ferred here from the hot and enervating climate of
Batavia. It has beautiful roads and buildings, first
class hotels and excellent shops. Bandoeng is the capi-
tal of the Preanger Regencies, the largest and most
fertile of all the provinces of Java. Close to the
town are the Malabar Radio Station and the Hydro-
Electric Works, while the Government Quinine
factory is in the town itself and the Government
card board factory a few miles out. The Malabar
Range is the centre of Tea and Chinchona bark
growing, no less than 50,000 acres being under tea,
while the intense cultivation of Rice in the Plain
of Bandoeng has earned this province the sobriquet
of the "Granary of Java". The Hill Station of
Lembang, 1800 feet above Bandoeng, thus 4200 feet
high, has some very good hotels and boasts of an
up to date Observatory, the munificent gift of Mr.
K. Bosscha, a highly esteemed resident and Director
of many public companies.
Soekaboemi is a prettily situated town, 2400
feet high, on the slopes of the Gedeh mountain,
surrounded by Tea and Chinchona plantations. The
climate, being somewhat milder than that of
Bandoeng, causes many retired officials to spend
the evening of their lives here.
Buitenzorg^ meening "care free", best known by
the Botanical Gardens and as the residence of
13
the Governor General of the Dutch East
Indies, is 800 feet higher than Weltevreden
and appreciably cooler. The world fam-
ous Botanical Gardens were established in 1817 by
Dr. C. G. L. Reinwardt. When he retired in 1822
there were already 900 thriving plants in the
Gardens. The greatest development, however, took
place under the regime of Professor Melchior Treub,
who not only enlarged them considerably but added
also a number of experimental plots. Several labor-
atories were called into being, where seeds, soil and
fertilizers are tested and analysed. Professor Treub
took charge of the Gardens in 1880 until his final
retirement in 1909. The Botanical Gardens of
Buitenzorg enjoy among scientists the reputation of
being the finest in the world. The collection of
orchids is remarkable, there being several hundred
varieties present in the open as well as under cover.
The Governor General's palace abuts the Gardens
and appears to be an integral part of it, which is,
however, not the case. This official residence of the
Governors General of the Dutch East Indies dates
from the year 1745 when the then Governor General
van Imhoff was granted a part of the Kampong
Baroe, called by him Buitenzorg, on condition that
this should remain the official residence of the
Governors General in perpetuity.
Weltevreden is, in fact, a suburb of Batavia
and merges imperceptibly into the town of Batavia
proper. The population of greater Batavia is about
350,000 of which 30,000 are Europeans. It is now
the principal residential and shopping district. The
river Tjiliwoeng flows right through Weltevreden
and is used by the natives for every conceivable

purpose. Every day of the week one can see the
"Brookside Laundry" busy at work. Weltevreden
contains many shady walks and open spaces, the
largest and best known being the Koningsplein ( King's
Square), nearly a mile square. Within this space are
found the Race Course, several Tennis and Hockey
clubs, Football fields, a native place of entertainment
with open air cinemas, the Hotel Koningsplein, the
new Telephone Exchange, the Deca Park as well as
the site of the annual Fair for the exhibition of
native arts and crafts, native amusements etc. Near
the Koningsplein is the old Fort "Prins Hendrik",
now disused and surrounded by a pretty park called
the Wilhelmina Park. The R. K. Cathedral on the
Waterloo Plein, another large square, is conspicuous
by its twin steeples of wrought steel. The Waterloo
Plein is flanked by Government Offices and serves
as a parade ground for the troops garrisoned at
Weltevreden. The Museum, situated on the West
Side of the Koningsplein, is of great interest to all
visitors. It contains a superb collection of Crown
and State Jewels of many of the native states since
embodied in the Dutch East Indian Government,
a unique collection of ethnographical objects from
practically the whole of the DEI and many specimens
of Hindoo and Buddhist sculpture found in Java
and elsewhere in the archipelago. There are also a
number of mediaeval guns dating from the early
occupation of Java by the various nations of Europe.
In front of the building stands a lifelike bronze
statue of an elephant, a present of the late King
Chulalongkorn of Siam, flanked by a pair of
beautifully chiselled bronze muzzle loading canons.
The Governor General's Town Palace also faces
the Square, while the Club "Harmonie", of which the
story goes that its doors are never closed, is close by.
15
In the old town of Batavia is situated the Aquarium,
though small a highly interesting place, containing
specimens of practically all the coral fish found in
the Java Sea. It is in the oldest part of Batavia,
the Fish Market. This is the original site of the
first settlement of the Dutch in the island of Java.
The Penang Gate and the Sacred Canon are on
the road leading to the Fish Market. Of the Sacred
Canon there is a fellow gun lying near Serang in
Bantam and the belief is current among the
natives that when these two canons get together
by their own volition the rule of the Dutch in
the East Indies will be over. They further believe
that this canon possesses the gift of conferring
motherhood. The old Portuguese Church, dating
from the 16th Century, contains a beautifully carved
and gilded organ and pulpit. The Church is now
converted to the use of the Dutch Reformed
Service. The churchyard contains the grave of the
former Governor General van Zwaardecroon who
discovered the plot for the overthrow of the' Dutch
engineered by Pieter Erberfeldt in 1722 and had
Erberfeldt arrested and executed. On the spot of
the execution is a memorial tablet surmounted by
a skull pierced by a spear and containing an inscrip-
tion stating that the traitor Erberfeldt was executed
for his heinous offence here and that as a memento
no building of any sort should ever be erected on
this spot.
The port of Batavia, called Tandjong Priok, is
12 miles distant from Weltevreden. A beautifully
asphalted road connects Batavia, Weltevreden and
Tandjong Priok. Here at T. Priok are also the new
Assembling Works of the General Motors Corpo-
ration, where everything is done by electricity.
16
The pivot of Java is the Sugar industry, there being
now 204 Sugar Mills in operation producing annually
over 2 million tons of sugar. Next to sugar the
Rubber, Coffee, Tea and Tobacco production play
an important role, while Rice as the staple food of
the natives ranks easily first in a domestic sense.
Only the intensest cultivation, coupled with a
wonderful system of irrigation, can support the
dense population of Java. Take an island of
roughly 50,000 square miles with a population of
well over 40 millions it stands to reason that every
square inch of ground must be pressed into service.
Luckily for this island epidemics are scarcely known
and with a beautiful climate it is no wonder that the
Javanese strike every traveller as a happy and
prosperous people.
