The northern part is commonly lowland, forming the catchment area of Surakarta city, while the southern part is mountainous. Near the northern border are the suburban areas surrounding Surakarta City such as Grogol, Baki, Gatak and Kartasura, which lie within the metropolitan area of that city. Kartasura is the junction of the Solo-Yogyakarta track with Solo-Semarang.
