History

Шаблон:Cleanup rewrite After the Java War, the Dutch colonial government commissioned Ajibarang R. Ranusentika to clear the forest on the slopes. He often went fishing in a waterfall, under which there is a niche or a deep pool. During one of those fishing sessions, Ranusentika felt the tip of the hook pulled by a fish that was big, but when the end of the hook is retrieved, there was no big fish, but a pendok, or yellow gold dagger sheath, that caught the eye of the hook. Since then, the waterfall is named Cipendok. Curug Cipendok was restored and opened to the public in 1984.[3]

Cipendok waterfall is at a plateau in the Banyumas region and was officially opened to the public on February 27, 1986. North of Cipendok lies the largest mountain forest in Java.[4]
