c   terletak di 


  , sebuah gunung yang terdapat di Jawa Barat. Ketinggian
gunung ini adalah 2.386 meter. Kawah dari Gunung Patuha inilah yang dijadikan obyek wisata yang
menarik dengan nama Kawah Putih. Tanah yang putih yang terdiri dari belerang merupakan alasan
mengapa kawah ini disebut Kawah Putih. Permukaan tanah juga tidak rata sehingga menyerupai
gundukan-gundukan tanah. Air kawah yang berwarna kehijauan juga menarik perhatian. Di
sekelilingnya, terdapat pegunungan yang sebagian sudah kering tetapi ada juga yang masih
ditumbuhi pohon hijau.

Dahulu kala,masyarakat menganggap kawah ini kawasan yang angker karena banyak burung
mati seketika melewati kawah ini.

Kepercayaan inipun lantas dibantah,ketika pada tahun 1837 seorang ilmuwan Belanda
Jerman Dr. Franz Wilhelm Junghun yang juga seorang pengusaha perkebunan Belanda yang
mencintai kelestarian alam melakukan penelitian dan menemukan bahwa keangkeran
tersebut tidak lain disebabkan oleh adanya semburan lava belerang yang berbau sangat
menyengat.Namun saat ditemukannya fakta tersebut masyarakat belum tertarik menjadikan
tempat ini sebagai objek wisata. Baru setelah PT Perhutani mengembangkan tahun 1987,
kawasan kawah putih dijadikan sebuah objek wisata di Jawa Barat. Air kawah di gunung ini
selain warna airnya yang terang dan juga selalu berubah2. Inilah yang pada akhirnya menjadi
daya tarik tersendiri. permukaan kawah umumnya berbatu dan berpasir warna putih,

Kita dapat sedikit menaiki gunung yang mengelilinginya. Di gunung ini kita akan
menemukan pohon-pohon kering dan banyak ranting-ranting pohon yang berjatuhan dengan
batu-batu kecil. Kita juga dapat melihat kawah dari atas.

Kawah di sini cukup luas. Warna airnya bisa berubah-ubah tergantung cahaya matahari. Asap
dari air belerang terkadang timbul sehingga menghalangi pandangan kita. Airnya juga
menimbulkan bau belerang. Bila angin sedang bertiup, bau belerang dapat menusuk hidung
kita dan membuat kita terbatuk-batuk. Maka, ada beberapa titik pada kawah ini yang
dipasangi peringatan agar tidak terlalu dekat untuk menghindari keracunan asap belerang.

Di sini juga terdapat batu-batu besar yang indah. Keindahan itulah yang membuat tempat ini
menjadi tempat favorit bagi calon pengantin untuk melakukan foto prewedding.
