Mount Muria or Gunung Muria is a dormant stratovolcano type mountain on the north coast of Central Java, Indonesia, about 66 km north of Semarang City. It falls between three Regencies: Jepara on the west, Kudus on the south, and Pati on the east. Some sources state the mountain has a height of 1602 m, some state 1625 m.
Mount Muria was once an island, separated from Java by the Muria Strait. The strait was one of the spice trade routes connecting the Middle East with Maluku and was probably traveled by Tomé Pires on his voyage to Java. The strait closed around 1657.: 111–113
In 1979, the northern side of the mountain was chosen by the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) [id] as a location for the construction of a nuclear power plant, with the understanding that the risk of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were small compared to other parts of Java and Bali. The plant's placement also took into consideration electricity consumption in Central Java. Earthquakes that rocked Mount Muria in the 2010s put an end to the development plan.
The mountain last erupted in 160 BCE.
There's a trail called Jalur Pendakian Puncak 29 Via Desa Rahtawu leading to the summit. Gunung Muria is one of the 2 peaks along the Pendakian P.
The nearest mountain hut is null located 39m/128ft NNE of the summit.
