Description

Gunung Bima is a relatively small forested rocky hill (‘bukit batu’) in Desa Pangebatan, Bantarkawung district, Brebes Regency, Central Java — not Bima on Sumbawa island, and not one of Brebes's highest peaks (the region's seven tallest, such as Slamet, Sakub and Kumbang, do not include it). It sits in the upstream (headwater) uplands of southern Brebes and functions as a water-catchment area. In recent years Gunung Bima has become known mainly through community activity: the planting of thousands — up to 10,000 — tree seedlings (including a 2025 Earth Day drive by the NGO Pampera and local residents) as a reforestation effort, along with local uses such as a longan orchard/agrotourism. Verified data for this hill is limited: there is no official elevation, geological classification, or documented climbing route, so this profile is deliberately kept short and honest — detailed information is best confirmed directly with residents of Desa Pangebatan. No freely-licensed photo of this hill is currently available.
