Padureso, Administrative district in Kebumen, Indonesia
Padureso is a district in Kebumen Regency, Central Java, comprising nine traditional villages scattered across a landscape of valleys and hills. The area is shaped by mountains and several rivers that flow through its territory.
The district formed during the colonial period, and its nine villages have maintained their original boundaries since then. This administrative structure remains the foundation of today's community organization.
Local residents of Padureso primarily engage in fish farming, agriculture, and entrepreneurship, with many pursuing education or employment in larger cities.
The district connects to Wonosobo Regency through regular bus services and makes it possible to travel across the hilly terrain. The mountainous topography shapes how communities are linked to one another.
Mount Sikreak reaches about 567 meters and is the highest point in the district with views over three rivers below. From its summit, visitors can take in the surrounding landscape and the water-rich valleys beneath.
