Description

Gunung Kerenceng stands in Sumedang Regency, West Java. Wikidata lists 1,754 m, while the map evidence discussed by BandungBergerak uses 1,742 m. The area consists of volcanic rock, with Kareumbi forming a nearby summit. The Jambu Aer approach crosses farmland and forest before reaching a narrow ridge; the short hike still requires care. The photograph looks from the summit toward the Kerenceng–Kareumbi ridge.
