Topography

Since these highlands are of the karst type, many caves can easily be found in Wonogiri Regency and at least 41 caves have been discovered so far starting with the famous Song Gilap cave, Song Putri cave at Pracimantoro, Ngantap cave, Putri Kencana cave at Giritontro and including many unnamed caves all over the regency.
Wonogiri Regency also has a dam called Gajah Mungkur Dam which has three main functions; as a power plant to produce Hydroelectricity; to provide water for rice fields around Bengawan Solo River through irrigation programs; and for tourism. The dam has created a reservoir covering 83 km2 which lies 6 km south of Wonogiri town.
