Welcome to Wonosobo, a city that gets its name from Sanskrit Vanasabha, meaning "gathering place in the forest". As you enter the city, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking view of tobacco and tea plantations. With its elevation ranging from 270 m to 2250 m above sea level, Wonosobo is the perfect place for vegetable farming. Here, you can find almost every vegetable that you see in grocery stores. Farmers in the outskirts of Wonosobo, particularly along the Wonosobo-Temanggung border, begin to harvest tobacco leaves in July and August. They utilize the streets to dry the tobacco leaves before transporting them into the city. As a result, you may encounter some traffic when entering the city from Magelang.

Rendang is a traditional Indonesian beef curry that is slow-cooked to achieve a tender and succulent texture.

This hearty, flavorful dish is often served over rice and enjoyed during festive occasions or as a comforting meal.
