The location of the waterfall is not on the side of the road. In order for you to find the location of the Kemenuh waterfall, you need to descend hundreds of stairs from the parking area. After you go down the stairs you will find the lips of the Petanu river.
To descend hundreds of stairs, not so tired. But when you have to return to the vehicle parking lot, then you have to climb hundreds of stairs. This is where your stamina is tested. So if you are not strong enough to climb the stairs, we do not recommend you not to go down the stairs. Even if you don’t go down, you can still see the view of the Tegenungan waterfall from above. But you still have to pay for the entrance ticket to the Tegenungan waterfall.
