A magnificient work of nature at more than 2300 m above sea level. Dominating the Bandung skyline, it is the mountain you can see from Bandung's northern hills.
The huge cleft in the mountain flank originated from a prehistoric eruption was once the location of the world famous transmitter station Radio Malabar, made by the Dutch, for direct communication between Holland and Java. (Please find more info about this radio station in http://radiokootwijk.free.fr )
Two man-made lakes near Pangalengan, Cileunca and Cipanunjang are quite inviting for a picnic. Small motor boats and a watercycle for two persons can be rented (about $2 per hour). It's a relaing place which is not overly crwoded even on holidays.
