The Sumbing or Gunung Sumbing is an active stratovolcano in central Java , Indonesia .
The 3371 meter high summit is formed by a crater opening to the northeast with a diameter of around 800 meters, in which there is a lava dome . There are side craters on the north and south-east slopes in particular.
According to historical reports, an eruption took place around 1730 , possibly causing smaller craters in the summit area due to phreatic explosions .
A good ten kilometers northwest and separated from Sumbing by a 1,400 meter high saddle is the 3,136 meter high Sundoro , another volcano.
