There are nine small Hindu temples in the Gedung Songo (also known as Gedong Songo)complex, and they are worth a visit as part of a day trip from Jogjakarta, which could also encompass Borobudur Temple and the Locomotive Museum at Ambarawa. They were built in the 8^th and 9^th centuries, and have been somewhat restored. Although the architecture pales in comparison with Borobudur, the views on a clear day are stunning, with Gunung Merapi’s ever-present plume as a backdrop. 

Best views are generally in the morning, before the mists develop. Gedung Songo is located 5 km from Bandungan. Its parking lot is at GPS S07°12.611’  E110°20.528′
