Mount Ciremai National Park is located in the province of West Java, Indonesia. Some endemic or endangered flora and fauna are being protected in this national park, such as Pinus merkusii, Castanopsis javanica, Fragraera blumii, Villubrunes rubescens, Macaranga denticulatan, Lithocarpus sundaicus, Elaeocarpus stipularis, Ardisia cymosa, Platea latifolia, Leopard, Javan Muntjac, Zaglossus bruijni[citation needed], Javan Surili, Javan Hawk-eagle and Python species.
Mount Ceremai is adminis tratively included in the three districts, namely Kabupaten Cirebon, Kuningan and Majalengka Regency, West Java Province. The geographical position of the peak is located at 6 ° 53 '30 latitude and 108 ° 24' 00 east, with an altitude of 3078 m above sea level. This mountain is the highest mountain in West Java.
This mountain has a double crater. Western crater radius is truncated by a crater 400 m east of radius 600 m. At an altitude of about 2900 m on the southern slope there are ex-point eruption Gowa called Swallow.
The name is derived from the word mountain Ciremei (Phyllanthus acidus, a type of plant small shrubs with rada sour fruit), but it is often called Ciremei, a symptom hiperkorek due to the many place names in the region Pasundan that use the prefix 'ci-' for the naming of places.
Eruption G. Ciremei recorded since 1698 and the last time occurred in 1937 with the shortest rest interval of 3 years and the longest 112 years. Three eruptions in 1772, 1775 and 1805 occurred in the central crater, but did not cause significant damage. The eruption of sulfur steam and copy the new fumaroles at the center of the crater wall occurred in 1917 and 1924. On June 24, 1937 - January 7, 1938 freatik eruption in the central crater and radial cracks. Distribution of ash reached an area of 52.500 square km (Kusumadinata, 1971). In 1947, 1955 and 1973 tectonic earthquake that struck the southwestern G. Ciremei presumably related to the fault structure trending southeast - northwest. Genesis quake damaged several buildings in the area west of Maja and Talaga G. Ciremei occurred in 1990 and 2001. Tremors felt in the east to the Village Cilimus G. Ciremei.
The forests are still experienced at Mount Ceremai stay longer at the top. On the bottom, especially in areas which in the past managed as production forests Perhutanioffice, these forests have been converted to pine forest (Pinus), or shrubs, which are formed due to repeated fires and grazing. Now, most of the forests under the height... m above sea level. managed in the form of agro-forestry (agro forests) by the local community.
Furthermore, based on micro-climatic conditions, LIPI (2001) distinguish Ciremei environment on the plateau of wet and dry highlands. For example, land in the Resort Cigugur (Palutungan point, the southern mountains) including micro-wet climates, and at the Resort Setianegara (lane north Linggarjati) micro-dry climates.
In general, Palutungan hiking paths (in the south of Mount Ciremei), Apuy (west), and Linggarjati (east) in succession from bottom to top going through the settlement lands, fields and gardens of the population, mixed pine forest plantations with field plots in forest areas (intercropping), and the last mountain rain forest. While in line Padabeunghar (north) of vegetation were combined with shrubs that are associated with desert weeds. In the fourth route, the rain forest Mountains can be divided again into three types namely lower Montana forests, upper Montana forests and vegetation subalpine around the crater. Except subalpine vegetation that is alleged to have disturbed by fire, mountain rain forests of this condition is still relatively intact, and appeared green canopy stratification is quite clear.
The diversity of wildlife in Ciremei quite high. The research group of nature lovers Lawalata IPB in April 2005 to get 12 species of amphibians (frogs and toads), various types of reptiles such as chameleons, geckos, lizards and snakes, more than 95 species of birds, and more than 20 species of mammals.
Mount Ciremei is highpoints West Java (3078 mdpl), can seen clearly by passengers trains or vehicles other generally along lane Pantura approximately Cirebon. To toward peak Ciremei there 3 pathway can pursued namely lane Majalengka lane Palutungan and lane Linggarjati.
Path Linggarjati represents most precipitous and heaviest, but this pathway represents most frequently traveled climbers. Mount Ceremai has distinctive compared mountains else in Java. This mountain situated far apart from mountain other higher and sides is the sea Java. Trip to G. Ceremai can begins from terminals Cirebon, climbed bus toward Kuningan and alight at Cilimus.
From Cilimus we connect with vehicles colt or ojek to village Linggarjati. In villages Linggarjati, we can staying at Hotel Linggarjati. From hotels Linggarjati we continue journey through buildings Scriptwriter westward until approximately Balai Desa Linggarjati.
