Pemandian Sumur Amber Kandangan is a spring-fed natural bathing site located in the Duren village of Srengat, Blitar. The site is known for its clear, cool water sourced directly from an underground spring. It features a man-made basin designed for swimming and communal bathing. The water flows constantly, maintaining clarity through natural circulation. The surrounding environment consists of local agricultural land and rural village scenery. The pool serves as a community-managed recreation area for local residents and visitors. Recent infrastructure developments have included concrete tiling and improved access paths around the basin.
