Kubangkangkung Reservoir, The One And Only Reservoir In Cilacap
Visiting Cilacap must be going to a beach, uh, wait a minute. In Cilacap there are not only beaches but there is also a reservoir. The only reservoir in Cilacap is in Kawunganten District. Its name is Kubangkangkung Reservoir or if it was spelled in the past, it is called Koebangkangkoeng.
Why is it called Kungkangkung? It is said that in the reservoir, there was a puddle of water overgrown with water spinach. That is why the icon that was built in the middle of the Kubangkangkung Reservoir is water spinach. Although at first glance people will think that it looks more like a lotus flower than water spinach.
