Situ Patenggang

Situ Patenggang is a stunning natural lake, known not only for its serene panoramic beauty but also for the love legend closely associated with it. Surrounded by expansive green tea plantations and mist-shrouded hills, the lake is a favorite destination for those seeking serenity and romance.

The name "Patenggang" itself comes from the Sundanese language, meaning "to seek each other." Local legend tells the love story of Ki Santang and Dewi Rengganis, who were separated for years and finally reunited on a large rock in the middle of the lake. This rock, now known as the "Batu Cinta," is believed to possess magical powers to strengthen the bond between couples who visit it. The main attraction of Situ Patenggang is its pristine scenery and cool air. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the lake in various ways:

  • Pinisi Boat: One of Situ Patenggang's newest icons is a replica of a giant phinisi ship that serves as a restaurant and observation deck. From here, you can enjoy delicious dishes while overlooking the lake from above.
  • Rowing Boats/Wooden Boats: You can rent a boat to paddle or motor around the lake, visit Batu Cinta (Love Stone), or simply enjoy the serenity of the air.
  • Lakeside Glamping: For those who want to stay overnight, there are unique glamping accommodation options right on the lakeshore, offering a luxurious camping experience with stunning lake views.
  • Walk Around the Lake: Enjoy the fresh air while strolling along the lakeside trails, exploring the tea gardens, or simply relaxing in the picnic area.

Situ Patenggang is the perfect destination for families, couples, or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and rediscover serenity in the embrace of nature. The beauty of the lake, coupled with the touch of romantic legend, creates a truly unforgettable atmosphere.
