Selogriyo Temple lies on the eastern slope of Mount Sumbing at an altitude of 740 meters above sea level. Administratively, it belongs to Candisari Village, Windusari, Magelang. The easiest access is through the Magelang–Bandongan route. From Pasar Bandongan, turn right toward Windusari. At the fork, follow the sign leading to the temple. Once you enter Campur Rejo Hamlet, the path narrows to an average width of one meter. Some parts are paved, while others remain dirt tracks cutting through terraced rice fields.

Reaching Selogriyo may require a bit of effort, but every step is rewarded. The fresh air, the serene landscape, and the quiet majesty of the temple make the experience deeply memorable.
