Legend

This waterwall has an interesting legend to be told. It is said that the name Coban Rondo Waterfall derived from a newly married couple. The bride was Dewi Anjarwati from Gunung Kawi (Mount Kawi), and she married Raden Baron Kusumo from Gunung Anjasmoro (Mount Anjasmoro). After they got married for 36 days (in Javanese: selapan), Anjarwati asked her husband to go together to Mount Anjasmoro. However, Anjarwati's parents forbade them to go because they were newly wedded couple for only 36 days. The two of them insisted to go anyway whatever they might face on the way there. While on the way, both of them were startled by the presence of Joko Lelono, a man from nowhere. It seemed that Joko Lelono was attracted to the beauty of Dewi Anjarwati, and he tried to take her away from Raden Baron Kusumo. Fight between Joko Lelono and Raden Baron Kusuma was unavoidable. Raden Baron Kusumo asked punokawan who accompanied him (Petruk, Gareng, Semar, Bagong) to hide Anjarwati, and then to bring her to a place with a waterfall (in Javanese: coban). The fight was very fierce, and both of the men were killed. Therefore, Anjarwati became a widow (in Javanese: rondo). Since then, the waterfall (coban) where Anjarwati waited for her husband has been known as Coban Rondo. It is said that the huge stone under the waterfall was the place where Anjarwati used to sit to weep her fate.
