Tebing Gunung Hawu, Bandung
Hang in the sky like Spiderman – Tebing Gunung Hawu
This mountain blows plenty of other mountains out of the water. Here’s
where your superhero dreams come true, and “hanging out” takes on a completely
different meaning.
For sunrise enthusiasts, Tebing Gunung Hawu boasts a fantastic
viewpoint to watch the sun wake up for its morning duties. Better yet, you can
catch that sunrise from your perch in a hammock, hanging precariously between
two towering cliffsides. Has that image gotten your adrenaline running?
Hammocking was popularised by a group of locals in a bid to increase
tourist activity in the area, – and thus prevent limestone miners from
continuing to destroy Gunung Hawu’s environment. Mother Nature is pleased with you.
The mountain is also renowned for the massive “hole” that you can see
in the middle of the mountain. It’s also the reason why the mountain was
christened “Hawu”, which means “fireplace” in Sundanese.
Since you’re here, how can you pass up on snapping a picture with this
rare sight? If you’re lucky, you might even catch the sunlight filtering in
through the hole, creating an ethereal sight.

Getting there: Tebing Gunung Hawu is located behind Tebing
Citatah, the Singgalang limestone mountains, and will require a 30-minute trek
from the latter. It is also accessible via four-wheeled vehicles.
