Hi Hivers in the #Pinmapple community wherever you are, allow me to share my experiences in the #Pinmapple community, this is the second time I have shared in this community.
Weekends for some people are something to look forward to, including myself too. To fill the weekend getaway I took my wife and two children to visit a tourist attraction which is not far from where my in-laws live. My destination is a tourist attraction "lake ranjeng". Ranjeng Lake is a lake located in the highlands of about 1,200 meters above sea level, located on the western slopes of Mount Slamet, geographically included in the area of Pandansari Village, Paguyangan District, Brebes Regency, Central Java.
We left for our destination on a motorcycle, on the way to the location we were treated to a beautiful view, even though the motorbike was unable to climb several times because the incline was quite steep.

Along the way we were presented with stunning views, verdant hills, stretches of vegetable plants as far as the eye could see also adorning our journey. Occasionally we stopped to take photos as a memento.

After traveling for about 1 hour we arrived at our destination. My wife and children look happy when they arrive.

Tired during the trip was relieved by being presented with a beautiful view. In front of us stretched a wide lake.

His curiosity about the beauty of this place was relieved, it was truly beautiful and enchanting God's creation. A lake located on the slopes of a mountain. From some of the information I got, it turns out that this place has a unique myth and history. This natural pool is still relatively virgin and is still inhabited by many tame fish.

This lake with an area of approximately 18.85 ha contains very tame fish, and is an attraction for tourists. Although tame, not a single person dared to pick it up. This is because there is a myth circulating in society, people who catch fish in this lake can get disaster. Thanks to this myth, the fish population in this lake is maintained.

interesting again, the types of fish that live in this lake often change. Currently, the fish that inhabit the lake is a type of carp. However, several years ago this lake was filled with catfish. The people believe that one day the fish in Telaga Ranjeng will change back to catfish. The change in the type of fish population in Lake Ranjeng is still mysterious. Because, from the past until now no one resident has sown certain fish seeds in this lake. Surprisingly, when the type of fish changes in size, almost all of them are the same. From the story of the trader we met, he explained that until now the depth of this lake is not known with certainty. He continued, in 2018, a number of Unsoed Purwokerto students conducted research into the depths of the Ranjeng Lake. The process of measuring the depth of the bottom of the lake is done using a sonar tool. The results were astounding, because the depth of the deepest point of Telaga Ranjeng reached 1,200 meters. Until now, it is not known exactly how deep this lake is. Some say only about three meters. However, in 2018, from the research results of a number of Unsoed Purwokerto students who measured the depth of this lake, the result was that the deepest bottom of the lake reached 1,200 meters. This is weird," he said.

This Ranjeng Lake is a Nature Reserve. Around the lake there are forest plants that are hundreds of years old. Traces of large fallen trees are still lying in this area. The following are the photos we were able to take, and we apologize if the quality is not good due to the limitations of the cellphone that I have.
