Guning Api Purba isn’t the tallest mountain in the area but you can still get an amazing view.

Looking up from the carpark.

You drive up most of the way and even the view from the carpark is pretty nice.

For some reason they decided to build a man-made lake. At least, I’m pretty sure it is man made.

There is even a camping ground. It was nice and peaceful there. I think I was the only non-Indonesian visitor.

It seemed that most of the people there were local students, particularly becuase they knew to come in the back way to avoid paying the entry fee. They still had to pay parking.

On the way out I noticed signs for nearby waterfalls but the day was getting on so I decided to head back to the city.
