Cimahi Waterfall


As we get closer to the waterfall, we began to hear the thundering sound of the falling water and see it amid the forest canopy.

Curug Cimahi is about 87 meter (about 285.5 feet) tall. The water falls from the Cimahi River (hence its name) that flows from Situ Lembang (lit. Lembag lake) above it.

Cimahi in the Sundanese language (the language of the people of West Java) literally means enough water. The name was probably given because the water volume in this river and down the waterfall remains more or less the same throughout the year.

Semakin dekat ke air terjun ini, kita akan mulai mendengar gemuruh suaranya dan air terjun akan mulai terlihat di sela-sela pepohonan. Curug Cimahi memiliki ketinggian sekitar 87 meter. Namanya sendiri diambil dari sungai yang mengalir di atasnya, yaitu Sungai Cimahi, yang airnya berasal dari Situ Lembang (Danau Lembang) yang terletak di atasnya. Cimahi dalam bahasa Sunda berarti air cukup. Barangkali nama ini diberikan untuk menggambarkan debit air di sungai dan air terjun ini yang hampir tidak berubah sepanjang tahun.

There is a pool and clearing at the bottom of the waterfall where visitors could bathe or simply sit and enjoy the view.

Para pengunjung dapat mandi di bawah air terujun ini atau sekedar duduk-duduk di tepiannya sambil menikmati pemandangan yang menakjubkan ini.
