Mangunan Fruit Garden
The beauty of nature is a great gift from God given to His servants to be grateful for this great blessing. With their high awareness they were willing to flock to see directly from the miracle of God through their natural world. This can be seen by the number of people who come early in the morning at the peak of the Mangunan Fruit Garden to see the sea of fog that forms the bend of the hill on the left and right of the Oya river. These fog or mist meet each other so that the bend of the Oya river is not stuck on this hill, they agree to give beauty to the visitors in this place.
