The name 'Tuk Bening' translates from Javanese as 'Clear Spring', referencing the high water clarity of the source.
The water temperature remains low throughout the year due to the spring's high-altitude mountain origin.
The location is situated within a forest buffer zone on the outskirts of the Kaligua tea plantation area.
Unlike commercial chlorinated pools, the water in this facility is refreshed by constant inflow from the natural aquifer.
Kolam Wisata Air Tuk Bening is a natural spring-fed water park located in the hilly region of Paguyangan, Brebes, Central Java. The site centers around a large, clear swimming pool filled directly from a natural mountain spring, known as a 'tuk'. The water is consistently cool due to its high-altitude location near the Kaligua tea plantation area. The facility is surrounded by lush forest vegetation and steep terrain characteristic of the Mount Slamet slopes. Visitors can swim in natural, untreated spring water that flows continuously through the basins. The infrastructure includes concrete pool edges, changing areas, and basic amenities for families. It serves as a popular recreational destination for local residents and tourists exploring the highlands of Brebes.
