Sunrise at Borobudur can not only be enjoyed above the temple or at Punthuk Setumbu, but can also be seen at the Chicken Church while having breakfast at Kedai Bukit Rhema. As the founder of this small shop, let me share a secret that has become my life’s passion: serving the best sunrise view in Magelang with a cup of warmth. Every morning, I witnessed for myself how the sky slowly changed color, painting the silhouette of Borobudur Temple and the majestic Mount Merapi-Merbabu from a distance. It is this experience that I want to share with you.

Why is Chicken Church the Best Alternative Sunrise Spot?
Many people knowPunthuk Setumbuas a prime location for viewingsunrise near Borobudur Temple. The place is beautiful, I admit. However, often the place is very busy, reducing the solemnity of the moment. It’s hereChicken Church Sunriseoffers something different.
As someone who has tried various spots over the years before setting up this shop, I found that from the top of Rhema Hill (where the Chicken Church is located), the view is so complete and layered:
- Misty Valley:In the morning, the valley below us is often covered in a sea of ​​thick mist, creating the illusion as if Borobudur Temple and the surrounding trees are floating on clouds.
- Iconic Silhouettes:You will not only see Borobudur Temple, but also panoramic views of Mount Merapi, Merbabu, Sumbing and Sindoro which are lined up proudly. This is the perfect photo composition.
- Calmer Atmosphere:Even though it is popular, the atmosphere tends to be calmer than other spots. You can really soak in the magical moments without having to crowd around.
This experience is the core of what we offer. Not just the view, but also the feeling of peace that accompanies it.

My Tips for Maximum Sunrise Experience
As the “host” I want to make sure your visit is perfect. Here are some practical tips from my personal experience:

- Wear Warm Clothes:The air in the morning can be very cold. A jacket or sweater is a must.
- Prepare Your Camera:Don’t miss the opportunity to capture the moment. Modetimelapseon your phone will produce stunning videos.
- Understand Entry Tickets:Remember, there is an entrance ticket for the Chicken Church tourist area which is separate from your order at the shop. This is important to support the maintenance of this historic place. For more detailed information, you can contact our admin on 085 725 77 9520.
