Topography

Most of Wonogiri's area is rocky and hilly due to its location on the Sewu highlands. 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 also has a dam called Gajahmungkur dam which has three main functions; as a power plant to produce electricity; to provide water for rice fields around Bengawan Solo river through irrigation programs; and for tourism.
