Visitor attractions

Liman is the highest mountain peak in the Mountains Wilis range, promising an extraordinary sensation of climbing. Lots of fauna and flora are found along the route as also are statues of pulosari, District Kare. Unfortunately, these pathways are rarely traveled by the climber, because access is difficult. If the path Kare-Lake District Ngebel already had asphalting, it would rival the charm of other mountains in Java. The slopes have tremendous tourism potential. Attractions include:

• Waterfall Slampir
• Grantham Monument
• Monument General Sudirman
• Waterfall Selorejo
• Kandangan Coffee Plantation
• Grape Tour Wana
