Pacitan - Banyu Anget


Husodo Tirto hot springs are a special attraction which is owned by Pacitan. More popularly known as Banyu anget, hot springs is different from other hot water sources, namely the lack of a distinctive smell of sulfur. 

You've never visited the hot springs or also popularly known as hot springs? Well, you would be familiar with the typical sulfur smell. Hot water source is identical with this odor.But unlike Hot Springs Tirto Husodo in Pacitan. There is absolutely no smell of sulfur that can interfere with the water enjoying a warm bath. 
More hot spring baths known as Banyu anget by the surrounding community is located about 15 km north of downtown and is relatively easy to reach. The streets are relatively wide and flat so that the car will easily pass through. Although located quite far away, this resort is equipped with adequate supporting facilities, including parking space.From the parking lot we still have to walk up the path with some stairs flanked by shady trees. Forest at the foot of Mount Screen is still natural and awake. viewnatureworld even had time to see some tail squirrel playing with fun in the trees. 



There are 4 pools at the baths, where hot springs pools, 2 adult pools, and children's pool. There is a prohibition to enter or touch the water in the main pool because the temperature is hot enough. Hot water is channeled to other pools in 3 and mixed with cold water for temperature in accordance with human body temperature. Interestingly, no sulfur smell at all! 

The smell of sulfur sting that often appear in the hot spring is the smell of hydrogen sulfide produced by anaerobic bacteria when water is heated naturally in the bowels of the earth. This substance is then dragged to the ground, except in some cases when the levels of hydrogen sulfide formed is not enough or when the substance is oxidized by Oxygen before reaching the surface. Banyu baths anget this one example. The absence of sulfur smell is of course will make you more comfortable in the bath enjoying the warm water can soothe and blood circulation. It's really fitting to end the day after a full day surfing or along the beaches and caves in Pacitan.
