Attractiveness
In 1772, Mount Papandayan, located at 2,665 masl, issued a very powerful and large eruption that resulted in the area around four villages being flattened. In addition, 3,000 residents around the mountain area are also buried in the volcanic lake.
Since this eruption, the hilly area on Mount Papandayan has become arid, and almost all the trees have not grown or have left. All that is left is a stretch of black trees surrounding this mountain.
Finally, this area was called the Papandayan Dead Forest. Even though the trees here look scary, you can still enjoy the stunning scenery only in Garut.
