Pancuran Tujuh

Pancuran Tujuh is a natural hot spring on Mount Slamet with multiple outlets releasing steaming water at temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Celsius. The springs cascade down the slope and carry mineral-rich water through the terrain.

A Muslim missionary called Mbah Atas Angin discovered these springs while spreading Islam in the region, following an unusual light that led him to find them. This discovery shaped the site's later role in local religious and cultural life.

The name Pancuran Tujuh comes from Javanese, where Pancuran means waterfall and Tujuh means seven, referring to the number of springs found here. Locals and visitors understand the landscape through this linguistic connection to nature.

Reaching the springs requires descending roughly 200 concrete steps down the slope, with parking available at the upper entrance. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the path is steep and can be slippery in places.

The continuous flow of sulfur-rich water has transformed surrounding rocks into distinctive red-brown formations over time. These mineral deposits become especially visible in nearby caves, where the colors appear most intense.
