Walking on the Top Southern Slopes
Posted on | December 4, 2007 | No Comments
First steep, later somewhat flatter, the path leads through beautiful pine forest. After some forty-five minutes of walking, you come to where a stony track crosses the path. Following that track to the left for another quarter hour and then taking the wide trail down into the valley, you reach a big gully with waterfalls gushing into it. The highest of these falls may be 10m, but unfortunately you can’t really get to it, let alone swim there. Thick mountain forest envelops the waterfalls, monkeys swing in the tress, and it’s all very remote and quiet. The trail skirts around the gully before descending back to Lembang. On the other side of gully, on top of the little ridge, were once artillery emplacements from which the Japanese army covered the whole Bandung Basin.

Tak mungkin orang dapat mencintai negeri dan bangsanya,
kalau orang tak mengenal kertas-kertas tentangnya.
Kalau dia tak mengenal sejarahnya.
Apalagi kalau tak pernah berbuat sesuatu kebajikan untuknya,”
-Minke, dalam Novel Jejak Langkah karya Pramoedya Ananta Toer-
