songgo langit waterfall


The waterfall is located at Bucu village sub-district Kembang, 30 km. north of Jepara City. The waterfall is 80 meters high and 2 meters wide. Local villagers believe that one’s body will stay young, after taking a bath or washing the face there.


The nature scenery around the waterfall is so beautiful with it’s relaxing air, making this place worth paying a visit.There are many kind of butterflies with beautiful colors.

The waterfall can be reached by car or motorbike, using the asphalt road.


Sage:
Once upon a time a young man came from Tunahan village and married with a young beautiful lady from Dukuh Sumanding Bucu village.


But tyhe husband got annoyed with his mother in law, and the couple left in the middle of the nigth, riding a car that was pulled by a cow, heading for the husbands origin.
It was so dark, that the couple lost the way and fell off the cliff (known as Songgolangit waterfall) and nobody ever heard of them anymore.


The sage is strongly believed by the local villagers and since then it’s prohibited that people from Tunahan and Bucu Village marry together, as they will meet too many obstacles in their relationship.
