About the route
The Taksaka at 07:30 and 14:45 and the Argo Semeru at 12:56 are among the long-distance trains, and the Fajar Utama Yk at 07:00, Bogowonto at 08:23 and Kertanegara at 14:36 are other options.
Kroya, where the line to Cilacap branches off, is one of the main junctions on the way. Purwokerto is the end of this trip, and Baturraden, the hill resort on the slopes of Mount Slamet, is about half an hour from the city by road, which is a good reason to stop for a night.
