But it turned out to East Borneo not only has Derawan alone. Not far from Derawan Islands, located in a bay that is hidden from the view of the world, lies a beautiful lake blue and has unique characteristics. It's Labuan Cermin Lake.
Named Labuan mirror, because this lake has very clear water until we can air-mirror on it. Labuan Mirror has a channel that is connected to the sea, but the magic that dominates freshwater lake is not mixed with salt water that comes from the sea. Fresh water is at the top of the lake and salt water at the bottom.
To reach this beautiful lake, a traveler can take it directly from Derawan with rental boats. Of  Berau, could use land transport towards the Biduk - biduk, of the Biduk - biduk heading to the village of Labuan Netting, then hire a boat from the locals to go to Labuan Cermin.

Underground

Gunung Kidul Regency in Yogyakarta, specifically Blimbing Village in Ponjong District, is a dry and desolate region – one of the main characteristics of an area with a dominantly karst geology. Karst – a term used worldwide to refer to limestone regions – is a kind of natural landform shaped by the dissolution of layers of soluble bedrock, in a process called karstification. Karst is characterized by sinkholes (closed basins), underground streams, and caverns, caused when rainwater and carbon dioxide dissolve limestone. These landforms are created gradually over millions of year.
Karst is important, as nearly 70% of karst contains valuable minerals, and many also contain water springs. In Indonesia, karst zones are found on nearly all islands, covering roughly 20% of the total land area.
With thoughtful consideration to the environment, cave and karst ecotourism can be an excellent way to utilize these areas, especially when local communities are involved. As well as generating revenue, this approach also requires that the karst be protected for its economic and environmental value. In fact, noting the tremendous benefits contained in karst, on 6 December 2004 President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono proclaimed the karst zone a natural laboratory and encouraged "eco-karst" activities.
Here at Gunung Kidul, cave and karst tourism is currently being developed, as a very logical way to help overcome the local people's poverty. This activity, which obviously appeals only to certain people, has not been widely developed, but a few karst-related activities, such as cave exploring, are beginning to attract visitors.
The karst zone at Gunung Kidul is actually part of the much larger Gunung Sewu karst zone in Central Java, which stretches as far as Pacitan in East Java. Blimbing village itself has seven cave entrances into three caves – two vertical and one horizontal – that can be explored by special-interest tourists.

Cave exploration in Dusun Blimbing is very safe. Not only are the guides highly qualified and experienced, but international-standard safety equipment is used, ensuring safety even for absolute beginners. Before entering the caves, visitors are urged to stop off at the Blimbing Village Hall, which serves as an information center on tourism in the area. Here you can receive the information you need through visual displays, videos, and important explanations, including proper preparation for trekking and caving activities. 

As a starting experience that's sure to give you an adrenalin rush, tourists can explore the Cokro vertical cave, or Luweng Cokro. From the Village Hall, tourists first hike around 500 meters along a steep trail through an arid landscape with rocky plains, until they come to a rice-field dike.
Arriving at the mouth of the cave, you will be greeted by local people offering help lift you into and out of the cave; but you have to follow your guide's orders.
Luweng Cokro has two openings and is around 18 meters deep. To start the exploration, you enter through a narrow opening just wide enough for one person, with a strong wall to hold on to. Once the ropes are properly fastened, your guide will order you to sit and hold on to the cave walls on both sides. As you hang, the local people will gradually lower you until you reach the cave floor.
After this descending process, you can continue by exploring the cave, which extends roughly 300 meters. It's best to do this in the dry season, when the cave is not full of water.
Luweng Cokro, like many caves, contains stalactites and stalagmites in many interesting shapes, creating an exotic panorama. These "ornamental" structures are created by mineral deposits from water dripping over thousands of years. The floor of this cave is challenging to navigate, as it comprises boulders, mud, soft ground and sand.
Luweng also contains some unusual cave-dwelling creatures: snakes, swallows, and many bats flying near the cave walls. The cavern has an unusual structure, with one large chamber like a ballroom and a descending corridor that gradually becomes narrower; toward the end you have to squat to more forward.
If you want to explore this cave in a party of ten, it will take around three hours: 45 minutes to descend, 90 minutes to explore the cave, including rest periods, and another 45 minutes to reascend. The party is usually divided into groups; when one group has finished the descent, they start the exploration while waiting for the others to descend.
After finishing the exploration and resting briefly, the tourists get ready to be hauled up and out of the cave. The guide in the cave gives orders using special communication equipment so that the people outside are ready to pull.
During the ascent process, you need to maintain a gentle balance, avoid moving too much, and hold on to the rope, especially when you approach the mouth of the cave so that you don't bang into the hard walls and injure yourself.
This activity is both challenging and a lot of fun, but it's not recommended for those who suffer from a serious fear of heights or darkness. These special-interest tourists need a certain level of courage, and adequate understanding of what they're doing.
Luweng Cokro is a perfect "starter cave" for tourists with no previous experience who
want to try caving. Even children can do it safely, following the guide's instructions.

Must Know

“Isolated Waterfall”
Sidoharjo Waterfall

3 of 5 starsReviewed January 10, 2015
I visit this waterfall in order to end my trip after going to suroloyo. Well I got a little disappointed because actually this waterfall could be a great waterfall, but some local citizen block the stream from above for their irigation causing the water shortage on the waterfall, and the road to this waterfall is still in natural condition, no sign of affection from local government to make this waterfall become a good tourist spot. the waterfall itself doesn't has entrance fee, but you must pay to park at some local citizen house near the waterfall

Fun Time

The child and his mother:

A curious child asked his mother : “Mommy, why are some of your hairs turning grey?”
The mother tried to use this occasion to teach her child : “It is because of you, dear. Every bad action of yours will turn one of my hairs grey!”

The child replied innocently: “Now I know why grandmother has only grey hairs on her head.”
