Description

Bukit Kuncer is a hill in Tengklik village, Tawangmangu District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java, on the western lower flank of Mount Lawu — the 3,265 m twin volcano straddling the Central Java–East Java border. It is recorded in the NGA-GNS place-name gazetteer and mapped on OpenStreetMap. Tengklik is a cool highland settlement with fertile farmland, but it is also classed as landslide-prone due to its steep hilly terrain — Tawangmangu is one of eight Mount Lawu sub-districts mapped as susceptible to landslides. Dedicated documentation of Bukit Kuncer is very limited: its summit elevation is unrecorded and no formal climbing route is documented, so this profile honestly presents the Mount Lawu foothill context rather than unverified specifics.
