Hello everyone, how are you? Not long ago, I went to Cianjur, precisely in a small village in the Ciranjang area. I came here, as part of healing too. What did I find here? Different from Jakarta, there are vast rice fields. In my eyes there are rice fields and mountains. Occasionally, houses and people who are farming.

This is very pleasant and feels very fresh, different from Jakarta which feels very stuffy. Many houses and vehicles. Vehicles occasionally come and pass. People greet each other in the morning. This is a pleasant atmosphere.

I also visited a place, called Sasak Gantung. Why? There is a waterfall but it is not from the usual ones I find. This water falls from a bridge in the middle of the rice fields. Below it is a river that is not wide and can be used for rice fields.

Like a river but not a river. In Sundanese, Sasak means bridge. From the photo I took, this is water falling from a bridge. And the water goes down into the river. There is a story in this place, coincidentally this place is also in the middle of rice fields far from the people.

They say, this place is very haunted. Where a tiger often comes down on certain days. In fact, at night this place is very dark. No motorbikes pass through this place. So do people who walk. No one dares. On the other hand, I am also amazed by the clarity of this place.

There is no garbage in this place. Local residents guard this place. For local residents, this place is just a road and a resting place for farmers around. For me, this is a blessing. There is a logical story too. The bridge where the water falls, used to be a railroad built by the Dutch government.

But, because there is a river, the rails become a water flow. I don't know. Where, the estuary of this water. The water is not very clear. This is indeed the condition. A little brown. That's my only story about the place I visited. What do you think? See you in another story.

Sometimes, the village is cooler and more pleasant than the city, where you have beautiful things around you. Indeed, travel is part of education; by visiting different places, you gain more knowledge and experience.

To be honest, this place is rarely visited by me and is very far from my place. It takes time and energy to visit. Thank you for stopping by.
