Thank God Almighty that afternoon the sun is rising almost right above his head. Around 10 o'clock more than 39 minutes the time shown at the camera was in Goa Netherlands. On Monday October 2018 the first experience of traveling to Dutch Goa in Bandung, precisely in the Djuanda Forest Park Area, began, about 800 meters from the first postal gate. The distance of 800 meters is by foot. Yes, just think of it as a body, back and forth 1.5 km is pretty sweaty.
Dutch Goa can be an alternative vacation in the city of Bandung, West Java, which has the nuances of history and natural forests. Suitable for those of you who like the forest.
History
While remembering history, it would be nice to know the story of how this Dutch Goa is.
The first Dutch Goa was built in 1906, if it is calculated from 2018 now it has been around 112 years already over a century. This Dutch Goa was built as a tunnel tapping the Ci Kapundung river water flow for hydroelectric power plants (PLTA). All of that was made by BEM (Bandoengsche Electriciteit Maatschappif).
BEM is the first name of the National Electricity Company (PLN). The history of BEM itself continued in 1920 to be renamed Gemeentelijk Electircitiet bedrijf voor Bandoeng en Omstreken (GEBEO). 1961 became the General Authority of the State Electricity Company (BPU-PLN). Nine years later in 1970 became the State Electric General Company. Finally, now starting in 1994 to become the National Electricity Company (PLN), the source of the old facebook was late.
This seems to not be separated from the development of the city of Bandung became a municipality in 1906. At that time the population reached more than 47,500 people. Less than the past Jakarta or Batavia around 200,000 people. The population of Suraya at that time was 150,000, Semarang reached 90,000. However, due to unknown reasons, the hydropower plant did not function long.
In 1918, this tunnel switched functions for military purposes with the addition of several spaces on the left and right wing of the main tunnel

Meanwhile, the hydropower system was rebuilt with changes to the tapping lane which is no longer through Dutch Goa, but through underground water channels until it reappeared to the ground at Pintu II Tahura and was accommodated in a pool of Daily Reserves known as "Swimming Pakar" .
From Expert Pool, water is channeled through rapid pipelines to Crooked Hydroelectric Power Plant (difunsikan around 1923) which since 1921 has been managed by GEBEO (Gemeentelijk Electircitiet bedrijf voor Bandoeng en Omstreken) and in the period of being a PLN.
This also seems inseparable from the development of various government agencies, military, education, trade, health, communications and others at that time.
Towards World War II, the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies and the Allied army military command center (United States, Britain, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand) were stationed in Bandung which was the best fortress for the Netherlands.
At that time, the Dutch expanded the cave and established a radio communication station here in lieu of Malabar Radio on Gunung Pentang which was in an area not sheltered from air strikes.
After independence, this Dutch Goa still has military functions as a warehouse for the Indonesian Government. It wasn't until the 1070s that the gunpowder was moved.
Location
You can access Goa Belanda via a private car or a motorbike. Public vehicles such as angkot can still be used, but you will be transported several times. Make it easier by driving a motorcycle.
Let's just say we are at Simpang Dago near the Bandung ITB Campus. Take the road towards Dago that rises it uterus to follow the road About 10 minutes drive will find a T-junction shaped like the letter Y, if from Simpang dago Kita is from the perpendicular direction of the letter Y. then take the right path according to the traffic signs pointing towards Djuanda. After that, just follow the road until you reach the Djuanda Forest Park on your left. A trip of about 40 minutes using a motorcycle.
Parking
No need to worry about thinking about parking a vehicle because Djuanda Tahura has a large parking lot.
Hopefully useful, more complete information should you come directly to Goa Belanda. My source can be obtained from the information board installed before the entrance to Goa Belanda.
Bung Karno once said in his speech with the acronym JASMERAH "Don't Forget History". I agree with this because in every event there is wisdom and knowledge that can be learned as learning is either a good thing or a bad thing for us.
I apologize if there is something wrong, open my suggestions and input for self improvement.
Thank you for your time reading.
Lastly to facilitate the search for the location of Goa Belanda, I include the Map
