Selo route (Boyolali):
Climbing through the District of Selo, Boyolali regency, Central Java. Selo was in the middle between Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi, and there are also climbing route of Mount Merapi.

Wekas route (Magelang):
Climbing through the district wekas, magelang. to go wekas, from wherever you get off at the terminal and then taking public transportation magelang towards Kopeng, Salatiga and get off at Wekas.
As with routes Selo , routes Wekas also has a lot of the crossroads and often called farmers routes. Climbing through Wekas can be taken approximately 12 hours of travel.
Kopeng routes (Solotigo):
Can be achieved through magelang and Salatiga, Kopeng is a tourist area so it is not too difficult to get public transport.
Kopeng route is the longest route and difficult to get a water source and route dusty in the dry season.
all routes will meet in post 5, which then through Kukusan summit, summit Geger sapi and then through summit Sarip, before it reached the summit mountain (Kenteng songo).
After arriving at the post 5 which is the limit of vegetation then will pass through the route which is often called the "Jembatan Setan". The route was along the 50 m with the two sides of the abyss of the crater. route will be even harder with the steep terrain to get to summit of Mount Merbabu (Kenteng songo).
