Description

Gunung Leutik (Sundanese for "small mountain") is a hill of about 815 m on the western rim of the Bandung Basin, near Cireundeu in Leuwigajah, South Cimahi, on the boundary between Cimahi city and West Bandung Regency. It belongs to the Pematang Tengah range — a north–south line of low mountains crossing the Bandung Basin that, in the popular geological account, once formed the divide between the eastern and western halves of the ancient Lake Bandung before it broke through at what is now Curug Jompong. Its immediate neighbours are Gunung Jambul (710 m), Gunung Sanggar (752 m), Gunung Gajahlangu (903 m), Gunung Puncaksalam (904 m) and Gunung Lagadar (897 m). Gunung Leutik is rarely a hiking objective in its own right; it is better known as a landmark beside Kampung Adat Cireundeu, the Sunda Wiwitan village that eats cassava instead of rice and manages its forest in three zones — leuweung larangan (strictly protected), leuweung tutupan (harvest with mandatory replanting) and leuweung baladahan (may be farmed). The 815 m figure comes from a survey of the Pematang Tengah range citing Indonesia's official RBI topographic map (BIG/Bakosurtanal) sheet 1209-311 "Bandung", 1:25,000; a global digital elevation model gives a lower value, about 770 m, at the OpenStreetMap summit point.
