WHITE CRATER

white crater in Bandung

White Crater This place is located in the Ciwidey, Bandung West Java. The scenery is quite beautiful, it's cold. On the mountain, there is a stretch of white sand, and there is a green lake in the middle, a scene which is quite a contrast. Even when I get there, there is a bride and groom who were taking for pra-wedding photos.
Beautiful place was reportedly discovered by a Dutchman named Dr. Franz Wilhelm Junghuh. He does not believe the stories about people who say the area is haunted Patuha, because shelter the jinn and spirits. So there is no animal that passes even birds flying across it could die. It found the lake, in which there are bursts of sulfur, so the animals do not like the smell.
Near the entrance there are a few huts, so that we can rest in a relaxed atmosphere that we never get in the big cities. Admission price is quite cheap, USD 3,500 / person, plus Rp 3,000 for the car. Indeed, in this place there are no facilities, not just selling the existing landscape. Unfortunately, this ought to be a very attractive tourist place if managed seriously by the government.


Long ago, people thought that the crater is haunted because many birds die instantly through this crater.
Then denied even this belief, when in 1837 a Dutch scientist Dr German. Franz Wilhelm Junghun who is also a Dutch planters who love nature conservation research and found that the awesomeness is not caused by the lava bursts of very pungent smell of sulfur. But when the discovery of the fact that people were not interested in making this place as a tourist attraction. Only after "PT Perhutani" developed in 1987, whites made ​​a crater area attractions in West Java. Water in the crater of the mountain is in addition to the water color is bright and always changing. This is what eventually became the main attraction. crater surface is generally rocky and sandy white color,


so that the crater was later known as the white crater. Some researchers say that Patuha still active, so it found a crater glow still churned. Also found near this place a 5-meter deep cave once used as a sulfur mine. I wonder if some of the steamy crater of a sudden a lot, and visitors found to cough due to inhaling air that smelled of sulfur is very sharp.
