MYTH AND HISTORY SRI GETHUK WATERFALL

Sri Getuk Waterfall is also known as Slempret Waterfall. The names are derived from the fact that sometimes the sound of Gamelan Ketuk, traditional musical instruments, is heard by the local people. This waterfall is also located in Slempret area so that it is also called Slempret.

However, some other may also say that this waterfall is known as Slompret. The name Slompret is derived from the sound of Slompret (a traditional trumpet) that is sometimes supernaturally heard. Based on the local story, the waterfall area is where Ketuk, a part of Gamelan, is kept. This Ketuk belongs to Anggo Meduro, a mystical soul living there. In some occasions, supernatural sound similar to Gamelan is heard.
