Hutan Pinus Pengger – The Enchanted Forest of Dlingo, Bantul

Hidden in the cool hills of Dlingo, Bantul, Hutan Pinus Pengger offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, creative art installations, and breathtaking panoramic views of Yogyakarta City from above. This peaceful pine forest has become one of the region’s most iconic nature destinations — a place where visitors can unwind, take photos, and enjoy nature at its best.
As you walk beneath the tall pine trees, the air feels cool and refreshing, with gentle sunlight filtering through the canopy. The forest is decorated with a variety of wooden art installations and photo spots — from giant woven “hands” to star-shaped platforms
— all built by local artists using natural materials.
At night, Pengger turns magical. From its viewpoint, the twinkling city lights of Yogyakarta spread out below, creating one of the most romantic and unforgettable nightscapes in the area.
