Equatorial Emerald | Visitor attractions Kelud area located in Kediri will get a variety of alternative and game tours. If before the eruption of Mount Kelud, visitors were treated to a panorama of the crater at the summit crater with water that is green, after the eruption in late 2007, visitors will be stunned by the emergence of child Kelud with white smoke billowing around the "mountain puppies" who shaped the lava dome . And also with the phenomenon of mysterious road that also will make visitors become curious.

Mount Kelud is one of the leading attractions Kediri. Located in the village of Sugihwaras, Ngancar District, east of Kediri. From the City through the subdistrict Plosoklaten Kediri, then from the Wates District to Ngancar District about 27 km, from district to Sugihwaras Village about 5 km, and from village to tourism Sugihwaras Kelud crater approximately 5 km.

Approaching tourist sites, the scenery is very impressive. Right side of the road form a verdant hills, ravines and cliffs of solid rock. About 3 km before the entrance gate attractions, the road becomes tortuous with a fairly steep incline and a steep derivatives. Must be extra careful driving.

There is a piece of road, less than 100 m in length, located on the main route towards Kelud attractions. Precisely in the village of Sugihwaras, Ngancar district, district of Kediri, East Java. Piece of this road by the
local community known as the road mystery. Because the way it looks up but all the vehicles that stopped on it suddenly able to move itself to the rise in the road.

The road, known as the road that mystery is the way most wide pieces than others. the manager of Park Kelud had anticipated because that's where the tourists are usually clustered wants to prove himself the way "up but down" (or, way down but appears to rise?). On the surface of asphalt roads have also made a write painted line marking where the "mystery" was working. Scientific explanation of this mystery ever delivered by prof. Yohanes Surya, Indonesia Physics Olympiad Team (TOFI). That incident is not really a mystery road "up but down" the impression to be mysterious, but the illusion of the eye. Allegedly this eye illusion phenomenon also happened in Korea and Saudi Arabia are reportedly also occurred a similar mystery-like. In other words, just a trick of the eye phenomenon. Piece road itself is actually decreasing, but the slope is very small. When viewed from the position of road slope is high, then the pieces down the road it looks like a rose. And like that's what happened.

But local residents "not accept". they were told that once someone proves using hoses filled with water and he said the results showed that the road was indeed rising. But, never mind. Confidence like that is owned by local residents, presumably have a constant need to be "maintained". In order to keep the mystery there and foothills region Kelud remain interesting to visit for reasons other than enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.
