Probolinggo

Probolinggo is an administrative regency in East Java with Kraksaan serving as its administrative center. The territory includes multiple districts and villages connected through a network of roads.

The territory was reorganized several times during Dutch colonial rule, which shaped its current administrative structure. These changes reflected colonial interests in managing the region effectively.

People here maintain strong ties to Madurese and Javanese customs that shape daily life and local festivals. These traditions are visible in how communities gather and celebrate together throughout the year.

The region is well-connected by road to other major East Javanese cities, making travel between nearby areas straightforward. Roads link this area to towns like Surabaya, Malang, and Jember.

The Pekalen River features moderate rapids alongside caves filled with bats carved into limestone walls. Waterfalls in the area were naturally formed through years of water erosion along these rock formations.
