Situ Patengan


In South Jakarta, there are several tourist attractive enough to visit. Among them is the White Crater and Situ Patengan (people often call Situ Patenggang). Due to the distance far enough from the city of Bandung, about 2.5 hours, is recommended if you want to visit places in South Jakarta, it is better to several places at once, so that your trip more efficient.

This place is located in the area Ciwidey. The scenery is beautiful, it's cold. On top of the mountain, there are white sand, and there ditengahnya green lake, a scene that quite a contrast. Even when I was there, there are bride and groom taking pictures for pre-wedding.


This beautiful place reportedly discovered by a Dutchman named Dr. Franz Wilhelm Junghuh. He did not believe the stories people tell about the mountain area Patuha the armature, because the residence jinn and spirits. So that no animals through even birds flying across it can die. It was found out of the lake, in which there were bursts of sulfur, so the animals do not like the smell of it.

By the entrance there are some saung, so we can rest with the relaxed atmosphere that we never get in the big cities. Admission price is quite cheap, USD 3500 / person, plus USD $ 3,000 for the car. It was in this place there is not a complete facility, just sell the existing landscape. Unfortunately, this should be a place that is very attractive for tourism, if managed seriously by local governments.

From the White crater, we can continue our journey to Patengan Situ. This park is more crowded than the White crater, probably due to the existing facilities more. This spacious park 17 ha, while the lake area of 48 ha. In the middle of the lake there is a small island called the island of Asmara, for a heart-shaped.

There Patengan, derived from the Sundanese language, "Pateangan-teangan" which means looking at each other. Narrated once a pair of lovebirds and the goddess Ki Rengganis Santang who love each other. They parted so long, and looking at each other. Eventually they met at a place called Stone Love. Goddess Rengganis also asked for the lake and a boat to sail together. This boat until now becomes a heart-shaped island (island Asmara / Sasaka island).


Is said, for couples that surround the island and dropped Asmara stone Love will find eternal love like a couple. Without wasting a chance, we hired a boat and circled the island and stop to stone size. On the way, the boatman told me also that the island is haunted Asmara, and can only stop off by the visitor if it has been granted permission and accompanied by the caretaker. Too bad many are left ignorant hand strokes on the attractions of this beautiful. Admission slightly more expensive than the White crater, but I forgot exact price.
