The name 'Remis' refers to the specific type of freshwater mussel that thrives in the lake's ecosystem.
The water is supplied by natural springs emerging from the volcanic slopes of Mount Ciremai.
The lake serves as an important water reservoir for the irrigation of nearby agricultural fields in Pasawahan.
The site is part of the broader Mount Ciremai National Park buffer zone, contributing to regional biodiversity.
Telaga Remis is a natural lake located at the foot of Mount Ciremai in Kuningan, West Java. The lake is characterized by its significant population of freshwater mussels, which gives the water its name. The surrounding area consists of a dense pine and tropical forest canopy that provides shade across the site. Visitors can walk along the path that encircles the perimeter of the lake. It is managed by the local regional enterprise Perumda Aneka Usaha Kuningan. The lake acts as a catchment area and a local recreation site for domestic tourists.
The wooden jetty extending into the lake provides the most expansive view of the water and surrounding trees.
Bring insect repellent, as the humid, forested environment attracts mosquitoes.
Wear comfortable, slip-resistant footwear to navigate the lakeside dirt paths.
Visit during the workweek to avoid high density and noise from weekend domestic visitors.
Avoid visiting during extreme heavy rain seasons as paths can become muddy and slippery.
Maintain a quiet volume to respect the natural setting; dispose of litter in designated bins only.
