At an altitude of approximately 600 meters (2000 feet), the city is a minor [[hill station]] resort, with a cooler climate than the surrounding lowlands. Sukabumi is also a destination for [[whitewater rafting]]. [[Rubber]] production is a major industry in the area. In Dutch colonial times, Sukabumi was the site of the colonial police academy. In early [[2005]], Sukabumi became the first place in Indonesia that [[Poliomyelitis|polio]] was reported in ten years, the beginning of a nationwide outbreak of the disease which had been believed to be eradicated in the country.<ref>Indonesia confirms second case of polio, ''ABC Radio Australia'' 5 April 2005.</ref> Made in 804 the ''Sukabumi inscription''' is the earliest evidence of [[Old Javanese]] script and language. ==External links== {{Geolinks-cityscale|-6.9196|106.9272}} ==References== {{Reflist}} {{West Java}} [[Category:Cities, towns and villages in West Java]] {{WJava-geo-stub}} [[de:Sukabumi]] [[id:Kota Sukabumi]] [[jv:Kutha Sukabumi]] [[nl:Sukabumi]] [[no:Sukabumi]] [[pl:Sukabumi]] [[ro:Sukabumi]] [[su:Kota Sukabumi]] [[sv:Sukabumi]]
