As
you already know, Indonesia has many forests that are worth visiting.
Here are the top beautiful forests in Indonesia that you deserve to
visit:
1. Natural Tourism Pinus Pengger, DI Yogyakarta
Pinus
Pengger Nature Tourism is located in Sendangsari Village, Terong
Village, Dlingo District, Bantul Regency. Like most pine forests in
general, Pengger offers the charm of a natural and beautiful pine
forest, complete with the distinctive aroma of pine sap.
At
Pengger, visitors can walk into a forest filled with tall pine trees.
Due to the density and height of the trees, the atmosphere here feels
very shady, even at some points it's a bit dark because sunlight can't
penetrate the bottom.
The
topography of this Pine Forest is similar to the contour of the land at
the top of the Becici hills. To get to the center of the pine forest
area, tourists have to walk through stairs. If the rainy season arrives,
this ladder will be very slippery. Therefore, you must wear proper
footwear when visiting here.
You can also enjoy the freshness and
beauty of the pine forest while taking pictures at several interesting
locations that have been built by the manager; tree houses, wooden
bridges that stretch from tree to tree, art installations in the form of
large wooden braided hands, and a giant hole overlooking the city of
Yogyakarta. When night falls, tourists can watch the city lights
flickering from this place.
2. Benculuk Bureau, Banyuwangi
Initially,
the Benculuk Banyuwangi Bureau was an old building used for the
management of Railway Transportation. However, currently the Ministry of
Tourism has changed its function as a tourist spot. The Benculuk
Bureau, apart from functioning as a tourist attraction, also functions
as a water catchment area and quality teak stockpiling managed by
Perhutani Banyuwangi.
It
offers great scenic charm, perfect for photo hunting or pre-wedding
backdrops with a "Nature" theme. The perfect time if you want to enjoy
the cool breeze and beautiful natural scenery, is in the afternoon,
because in the afternoon the sun rays that enter through the gaps of the
trees make this place look amazing.
3. Forest of Mount Singgalang Lumut, West Sumatra
Have
you ever watched the film The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings? The
backgrounds of these films use an exotic green forest. You may not
believe that in Indonesia there are beautiful spots similar to the
settings of these Hollywood films. The Mount Singgalang Lumut forest,
located in West Sumatra, is a charming natural area because of the
uniqueness of the trees in this area.
As
the name suggests, the unique thing about this forest is the moss,
which is present not only on the trunk, but also on the branches which
makes all the trees look exotic as if they were in another world. This
moss also sticks to all corners of the forest including rocks and soil.
Everything is green except for the paths that climbers always use to
climb mountains.
Moss forest is not actually natural tourism.
This area is one of the routes to climb to Mount Singgalang through the
village of Pandai Sikek. But here also some climbers decide to take a
break while taking pictures with the moss tree.
4. Keputih Bamboo Forest, Surabaya
The
location of this bamboo forest is in a former landfill, but now it has
been managed and planted with various plants, one of which is this
bamboo plant. Because it is shady and quite a lot of the garden area is
planted with bamboo, many people come to this place, especially for
those who like photography.
There are 4 paths in this forest, so
if one of the paths is busy, your visitors have 3 alternative paths in
this 8 ha forest. A row of bamboo trees that are planted neatly in each
path, the color of the bamboo leaves will also change according to the
changing seasons; during the dry season it will be dominated by brownish
colors on dry leaves while at the end of the rainy season it will be
dominated by beautiful green colors, making this forest has a unique
beauty.
